This webinar will focus on feeding some of the special needs cases, including horses that are predisposed to tying up from genetic issues (RER, PSSM, EPSM) or non-genetic related issues, feeding to prevent and manage ulcers, and feeding older horses that are less able to extract nutrients and energy from forage.
There will be an in-depth look at the best approach for feeding insulin resistant/laminitic prone horses covering appropriate feeds and supplements.
