A digital tool designed for horse owners and equine nutritionists, it assists in determining the appropriate feed ration for a horse based on several factors. These factors generally include the animal’s weight, activity level, physiological state (e.g., pregnancy, lactation), breed, and the type of feed being used. By inputting this data, the program calculates the recommended daily intake of various nutrients to maintain optimal health and performance.
This type of application offers several key advantages. It promotes accurate nutritional management, preventing both overfeeding and underfeeding, which can lead to health problems. Utilizing these tools allows for cost-effective feeding strategies by minimizing feed wastage and ensuring that nutritional needs are met efficiently. The development of these tools represents an advancement in precision livestock management, moving away from generalized feeding recommendations to individualized approaches.
