complete diet.
happy meal.
incomplete source.

When determining the cost of equine feed, which part is the primary cost?
Feed additives
Feed sacks
Grain for energy
Grass for roughage
The reason a greater percentage of grain is added to a ration is to increase the:
amount of vitamins.
amount of roughage.
energy content.
mineral supply.

fat
legumes.

Corn is an energy-dense concentrate that is sometimes referred to as a:
hot feed.
mineral block.
protein supplement.
vitamin additive.

fats.
fiber.
grain.
What additive is often added to a feed to increase palatability?
Cottonseed meal
Molasses
Sorghum
Soybean meal
A disadvantage of feeding hay from a feeder that is too high above the ground is that equine may:
contaminate the hay with feces.
develop sand colic from the dirt in the hay.
get eye irritations from hay particles.
walk on the hay.
Soybean meal is the preferred supplement to supply what in the ration?
Carbohydrates
Energy
Fat
Protein

harder kernels than other grains.
less risk of causing nutritional diseases.
lower fiber content than corn or barley.
