Ask the Nutritionist: Dr. Getty's Forum for Equine Nutrition
Welcome to my forum.
Here you will find more than 6 years of questions and my answers. It is searchable and offers a great deal of information.
Currently, I am discontinuing new questions. This may change in the future, but in the meantime, please know that It has been a true pleasure serving you.
Take a look at my Nutrition Library and Tips of the Month for a variety of answers on selected topics. Be sure to sign up for my monthly e-newsletter, Forage for Thought.
I also have a growing number of recordings on "Teleseminars on Nutrition Topics that Concern You" as well as the new, Spotlight on Equine Nutrition Series -- printed versions of favorite teleseminars.
And finally, look for my articles in a variety of local publications and online newsletters, as well as the Horse Journal, where I am the Contributing Nutrition Editor.
All the best,
Dr. Getty
Hi Trinity,
No, I haven’t seen any equine nutrition books that dedicate an entire chapter to each nutrient. I am currently writing a book on feeding horses for various conditions and life stages, and I will include a chapter on supplements, however, that will be a while before it’s available.
Have you seen “Understanding Equine Nutrition” by Karen Briggs? She does have information on individual vitamins and minerals.
If you have a specific question about a particular vitamin or mineral, I’d be pleased to help you.
Thanks so much for writing.
Dr. Getty
