Proper formulation of diets for horses depends on adequate knowledge of their nutrient requirements. These requirements depend on the breed and age of the horse and whether it is exercising, pregnant, or lactating. A great deal of new information has been accumulated since the publication 17 years ago of the last edition of Nutrient Requirements of Horses. This new edition features a detailed review of scientific literature, summarizing all the latest information, and provides a new set of requirements based on revised data. Also included is updated information on the composition of feeds, feed additives, and other compounds routinely fed to horses. The effects of physiological factors, such as exercise, and environmental factors, such as temperature and humidity, are covered, as well. Nutrient Requirements of Horses also contains information on several nutritional and metabolic diseases that horses often have. Designed primarily as a reference, both practical and technical, Nutrient Requirements of Horses is intended to ensure that the diets of horses and other equids contain adequate amounts of nutrients and that the intakes of certain nutrients are not so excessive that they inhibit performance or impair health. This book is primarily intended for animal nutritionists, veterinarians, and other scientists; however, individual horse owners and managers will also find some of this material useful. Professors who teach graduate courses in animal nutrition will find Nutrient Requirements of Horses beneficial as a textbook.

Cosa pensano i cani? Non potendo selezionare razze parlanti (cosa, tuttavia, meno impossibile di quanto sembri) il meglio che si possa fare per scoprirlo è osservare attentamente e registrare il comportamento di questi incredibili animali. Dopo anni di ricerche, l'etologo Vilmos Csànyi ha colto la vera essenza del rapporto di reciproca comprensione ed empatia esistente tra gli esseri umani e i cani. Traendo in parte lo spunto dalle esperienze dirette con i propri cani Flip e Jerry, egli ci mostra come l'antica alleanza che ci lega ai nostri proverbiali migliori amici sia derivata dalle capacità di risoluzione dei problemi e dalle abilità comunicative dei lupi, da cui i cani hanno avuto origine. Tali abilità fondamentali si sono poi affinate e rafforzate nel corso delle decine di migliaia di anni in cui la loro evoluzione è andata di pari passo con quella degli esseri umani. E poiché i cani sono stati selezionati per essere nostri aiutanti e compagni, ogni padrone che saprà cosa cercare, potrà interpretarne i pensieri, i desideri e le motivazioni.
