31. Is This Horse Fed Right? A Vet's Guide to the Rapid Assessment of Nutrition

When a horse presents with ulcers, colic risk, poor performance, slow healing, unexplained weight change or a plethora of other health conditions, nutrition may be part of the story—even if it isn’t the primary cause.

In this episode, Dr Nerida, PhD shares a practical, vet-friendly framework for a rapid field assessment of diet: the same fast mental checklist nutritionists run through when they first meet a case.

You’ll walk away with three high-impact screening steps:

(1) is there enough forage (and are there long fasting gaps that increase gut risk),

(2) is grain being fed appropriately and in a digestible form (to avoid starch overflow into the hindgut); and

(3) is the horse actually receiving correct supplementation—meaning a fortified feed/balancer/vitamin-mineral supplement at the proper feeding rate to cover common nutrient gaps and prevent “silent” deficiencies.
