The text builds understanding of the equine digestive tract from the perspective of physiology and instinct, connecting organ function with nutrition choices. Chapters address digestion essentials such as carbohydrates, protein, fats, vitamins and minerals, fiber, hindgut bacteria, and manure, then expand to supporting organs and practical extras. Clear guidance emphasizes education and coordination with proper veterinary care, while outlining risks and disclaimers for horse owners.","Spotlight on Equine Nutrition Series  \nEquine Digestion It’s Decidedly Different  \nJuliet M.
