Description
This research will determine whether LYS and/or THR are limiting in predominantly forage diets for both growing and mature
horses and will also increase our knowledge of total tract amino acid digestibility and the contribution of microbial populations
to fecal amino acid losses. Future research can then focus on determining how the dietary requirements for the limiting amino
acids change with diet composition and how differences in diet digestibility contribute to these differences in amino acid
requirements. Ultimately, we would like to optimize the amino acid composition of ration balancer concentrates specific for grass
and legume forages and promote the use high forage diets in growing and mature horses, without compromising dietary protein
quality.
