Event Details
This webinar will reveal some interesting facts about secondary plant compounds (toxins), in particular what makes them beneficial and when are they harmful.
Understanding that pasture is more than a horse’s dining room, its a pharmacy too; “where horses can be taught to select their own medicine” This so called self-supplementation happens in natural system but it not widely acknowledged in domestic management. Increasing our knowledge on how plants use toxins will help us improve our understanding of grazing behaviour, pasture management and what supplementary feeds we should give to our horses.
