Best Book to Learn to Balance an Equine Diet

[JB]

A large (IME) % of people feeding a commercial feed out of a bag say they feed “grain”, regardless of any cereal grain content.

If you are feeding TC, call TC. The posters on this bb are anonymous and have no credentials. The people are TC will tell you their real names and their credentials. There are people here who appear to have a good deal of knowledge about equine nutrition, but what they don’t know may work against what you are trying to accomplish. Nutrition is complex, there are still things no one knows, and both amounts and balance are very important. So if an anonymous person tells you to add something or subtract something, maybe it is correct, maybe not. You have no way of knowing.

TC Senior is not “grain.” It’s a forage based concentrate.

BTW, there is no such thing as a 13.5 hand horse.

I don’t think of TC SR as grain, I call it feed. Which is generic also but I distinguish it as feed compared to the the alfalfa cubes I give and think of that as forage. I do know what Tc Sr is!
I also don’t take advice for exactly what to feed from posters on the internet. As in anything I do in life, I read all I can find and then make my own decisions. Therefore the reason for asking about books on the subject of Equine Nutrition. I do take that kind of advice

I’m assuming you have already checked out safergrass.org also www.drkellon.com

I have no advice, but am always learning where I can, and hadn’t seen you mention these specifically, so thought I’d throw them out there. Always more to learn…
