I will be looking at the function and structure of carbohydrates and
minerals
...
• Carbohydrates are a source of energy and fuel for the body
...
Animal cells get energy
from glucose however excess glycose is stored as glycogen
...
• MONOSACCARIDES
• Carbohydrates are made up of long chains of monosaccharides
...
(glucose/fructose)
• DISACCARIDES
• When monosaccharides join together by glyosidic bonds in a condensation reaction
they form disaccharides
...
(maltose/lactose/sucrose)
• POLYSACCARIDES
• A polysaccharides are made when more than 2 monosaccrides join together
...
• Then it is broken down in the stomach by the hydrochloric acid
• The food then moves into the small intestine where amylase breaks
down polysaccharides into disaccharides into monosaccharides
...
• Then the large intestine digests and absorbs the fibre
...
The correct
amount of minerals are needed so that the horse is neither deficient
nor over supplied with nutrients
...
They need around 2 – 5% of their body weight in
minerals
...
• Digestion begins in the mouth when food is being chewed
...
The pancreas also releases bile to aid the
digestion, the minerals then travel to the small intestine where they
are then absorbed into the bloodstream
...
• As horses become older their
digestive systems sometimes don’t
work as well
...
If you can see a
negative change in your horses coat
or behaviour, for example, you may
need to have their feed changed
...
• This Baileys senior feeds is highly digestible, adds
conditioning and has extra nutrition levels
...
This helps with gut efficiency, coat condition and has
extra minerals and vitamins
...
This means they may need a few more
carbohydrates
• Young horses have a small digestive system as
they are still growing
...
• Concentrated sources of energy, protein,
vitamins and minerals should be fed in ways
such as high quality forages, grains and feeds
...
• High quality protein is essential in a horses diet
as it provides amino acid lysine which is
essential for growth
...
• Foal assist is a liquid that is a micronutrient for
growing foals
...
• This is helpful if the mum isn't producing good
quality milk for the foal
...
• This can be included in the foals original feed as
they change from their milk and hay to hard
feeds such as foal creep pellets
...
