<p><strong><strong><img src="images-joomla/guides/minus.png" alt="minus" style="vertical-align: middle;" />&nbsp; Too little</strong> energy</strong></p>
<p>Your horse does not get enough energy, and may become thin. The daily weight gain in young horses will be reduced and a poor performance in racing horses is to be expected. Thin mares will not breed as efficiently as adequately fed animals.</p>
<p><strong>Solutions</strong>: Give more feed! Hay contains about 7, concentrates 10 and soybean oil as much as 35 MJ of energy per kg. Examine the rest of the ration before you decide what feed to give in increased amounts.</p>
<p>If the horse is trained and still maintains an adequate condition on this ration you may have used a too high level of training intensity. Select a lower intensity!</p>
<p><strong><strong><img src="images-joomla/guides/plus.png" alt="plus" style="vertical-align: middle;" />&nbsp; Too much </strong> energy<br /></strong></p>
<p>Your horse gets too much energy, and will become overweight (fat). This is particularily bad for young growing horses and for horses used for racing and other competitions.</p>
<p><strong>Solutions</strong>: Hay contains about 7, concentrates 10 and soybean oil as much as 35 MJ of energy per kg. Examine the rest of the ration before you decide what feed to give in reduced amounts.</p>
<p>You may have to restrict grazing especially in spring.</p>
<p>If your horse receives considerable exercise and with the present feeding maintains a correct condition you are likely to have selected a too low exercise intensity. Select a higher intensity of exercise</p>
