Faecal particle size distribution in relation to forage type and digestibility in horses: preliminary results

The study aimed to explore the connection between horses’ total tract apparent dry matter digestibility (ttaDMD) of various roughages and faecal particle size (FPS), to develop a tool to rank roughage digestibility. Six horses, varying in size and breed, were fed six distinct roughages (four cuts of...
