Equine health issues are one of the biggest concerns to Kentucky horse owners. In the 2022 Kentucky Equine Survey, a total of $99,000,000 was spent in 2022 for Vet/Health related expenses. Of these health-related issues, Kentucky horse owners ranked Senior Equine Care, Musculoskeletal Issues, Gut/Digestive Problems, Parasites, and Laminitis as issues with most concern. Two of which (Gut/Digestive Issues and Laminitis) are caused partially by diet. One of the solutions to these issues is to understand the makeup of a horse's diet through feed testing and ration building. Most extension offices offer feed testing of which Agents will gather core samples of Hay and supplemental feed to be sent off to one of many testing laboratories. My program is designed to meet the producer, understand the reasoning behind testing their feed, and then work with that reasoning by explaining the results of the lab tests. From there, I try to work within the producer's needs and limitations to 1.) build a food ration and 2.) come up with a feeding timeline. Throughout this process I work to educate my producers on the nutrition of forage species, difference in bailage, and factors affecting quality of feed. Since beginning in August of 2024, I have worked with 7 hobby horse producers in Oldham County. All 7 of these producers completed hay testing, 5 producers implemented extension recommendations, and 1 producer is using the recommendations to balance nutrition. Most of these producers are homeowners, while one owns horses for her local business. One homeowner in particular I have worked extensively with. This homeowner had never used extension before but needed to test their hay after major laminitis issues. Every different group of hay that they brought in was tested and analyzed. I then sat down with the homeowner and went over every analysis with them, specifically noting caloric values, quality, and sugar content. From there, we were able to determine which type of hay should be fed first, last, and then mixed with other types so that their horses would have proper nutrition during the winter. At the end of the winter season, we will then evaluate the horse's body condition and efficacy of the feeding plan.
