The amount and nutritive content of forages has major impact on equine behaviour, health, and disease. In the Nordic countries, forages for horses consist almost exclusively of grasses, and to a limited extent of legumes. Legumes contain more crude protein than grasses, hence locally produced legumes can potentially replace imported protein-rich feedstuffs like soybeans. The digestibility of crude protein from different forage sources is however largely unknown in horses, resulting in difficulties when evaluating different protein sources for horses. There is also a lack of consistency and transparency in feed evaluation systems for horses in the Nordic countries. The aim of the project is to generate new knowledge of high scientific quality as well high practical value for the horse industry in the Nordic countries on protein and energy value of grass and legume forages for horses.

Mengden av grovfôr og næringsstoffinnhold har stor betydning for hestens atferd, helse og sykdom. Grovfôr til hester består nesten utelukkende av gress, og belgplanter anvendes sjeldent. Belgplanter inneholder mer råprotein enn gress, og belgplanter lokalt produsert kan potentielt erstatte importerte proteinrike råvare, som for eksempel soyabønner. Fordøyeligheten av råprotein fra grovfôr er dog for det meste ukjent hos hester, og det er vanskelig å evaluere forskjellige proteinrike fôr korrekt mot hverandre. Fôrmiddelevaluerings systemer til hester er ugjennomskuelig og mangler logisk oppbygning i de nordiske lande. Formålet med prosjektet er å skape viten av høy vitenskapelig kvalitet og med betydelig praktisk bruk for hestenæringen i de nordiske lande om protein og energiverdien av gress og belgplanter til hester.

The project aims to study the long-term effect of structure liming, and to test if minimum tillage can prolong the duration of this effect. The hypothesis is that structure liming effects diminish over time, but by minimizing soil tillage we can prolong this effect. Studies will be performed in six …
