Optimization of horse nutrition
MARYŠKA, Jan
This thesis deals with sport horse feeding. Suitable horse nutrition is essential for healthy and correct development of the whole horse organism. Every horse is different regarding its characteristics, work load, age, and health condition and therefore it is necessary to approach individually to its feeding. To set an optimal feeding batch so that it meets all requirements on energy, nutrients, and the right ratio of minerals and vitamins is not easy. The aim of this thesis is to analyse feeding practice in a stud farm focusing on feeding batches of sport horses. The work is divided into a theoretical part including basic descriptions of the horse digestive system, nutrients, and horse forage, and a practical part including the methodology used for the analysis, the description of the analysis when the forage used in the stud farm was compared with recommended optimal nutritious values for horses. The thesis conclusion summarises findings of the conducted analysis together with a recommendation of optimal feeding of the horses in question.

Nutrition of sport horses focused for the eventing competition
SEDLÁKOVÁ, Kristýna
This thesis assesses a systems of the feeding and nutrition of sporting horses which are specialized for the eventing. It deals with a requirement of the energy, individual nutrients, minerals and vitamins. Also it deals with a technology of the feeding horses at each period of the training. The own work is interested in classification of the intake of the energy and amount of the nutrients in the feeding rations at the season of the training, season of the races and at time of the rest in the winter. The feeding rations are assessed in a group of nine horses of the various breeds, age, weight and performance. The discovered values has been compared with the standard nutrient requirements for horses. The monitored values have been: energy, digestible crude protein, various macro and micronutrients, vitamin A and vitamin E. It has followed from the results that the feeding of the horses is individual thing. Intake of the energy and nutrients was tolerated in all cases

The concept evaluation of horse nutrition
SEDLÁKOVÁ, Kristýna
The paper evaluates the system of feeding and nutrition of horses. It deals with the importance and energy requirement, the importance of individual nutrients, minerals and vitamins, and technology feed horses, which is aimed at sports and feeding of older horses. The thesis focuses on the evaluation representation of nutrients in the rations for horses and their comparison with the standard nutrient for horses. The monitored parameters are: dry matter, digestible energy, crude protein, digestible crude protein, fiber, calcium and phosphorus. The need for those nutrients in rations met. The film shows an increased proportion of calcium, phosphorus, and digestible crude protein, which is still with in tolerance.

The evaluation of horse nutrition with chosen preparats in sommer and winter season
HANETŠLÉGROVÁ, Petra
ABSTRACT The aim of this work was to provide a detailed breakdown of horse nutrition, to mention the importance of dietary supplements. The main part deals with the basics of horse nutrition, the bare necessities of nutrients, the proportion of maintenance rations and the technique of feeding. Afterwards, I outline the properties and effects of varied herbal plants such as garlic, hemp, hyssop, white horehound, coltsfoot and oats. Flaxseed, biotin, zinc, yeast and probiotics are dietary supplements improving the quality of fur, horsehair and hoofs. The feed will be analysed by standard methods. As far as horse excrement is concerned, we are going to observe its shape, colour, consistency, pH value and smell. The assessment of horse excrement will serve as a judgement about the activity of digestive system. The ethology observations will provide information on daily activity of a horse, on particular activities, to which the horse gives its attention during a day, and the amount of time it dedicates to them. As far as horses with respiratory disorders are concerned, we will observe the signs of their health problems and the rate of these problems occurring both at rest and in action. The information will be completed by the measurement of body proportions useful to body weight calculation. The statistical and economic methods will be selected in terms of the results accomplished during the research.
