Horses are unique amongst the many other large herbivores, like cattle, sheep, and even deer. Rather, horses and their cousins, the donkeys, zebras and other equids, are part of a smaller group known as "hindgut" fermenters. This week, we discuss the horse's digestive tract. We start at the teeth and go all the way through, giving highlights to each structure and what makes horses so unique. This is important, as it makes understanding all the many recommendations given to owners regarding equine nutrition easier to understand.
