Dinner and a Discussion: Do you REALLY Know What's In Your Feed?

November KENA Dinner: What’s REALLY in Your Feed?
Reading Between the Lines of Feed and Supplement Labels

Deciphering equine feed tags and supplement labels can feel like an exercise in futility if you don’t have a master’s degree in equine nutrition. Though it can be overwhelming, it’s important to ensure what you’re feeding provides your equines with the nutrients they need to thrive – and to make sure you’re not wasting precious money on powders, pellets and potions that may not be necessary.

University of Kentucky Animal Science professor and researcher Dr. Laurie Lawrence will talk KENA attendees through what information you can (and can’t) find on feed and supplement tags.  Dr. Lawrence will offer explanations of nutrition terminology and answer questions about feeding horses in various life stages.

Spy Coast Farm Equine Education Center is located at
3700 Newtown Pike
Lexington, KY 40511

 Kentucky Horse Council signage will be at the entrance;
parking is to the left side of the building.
