| description | High-performance equine athletes have an energy requirement that often reaches twice the maintenance requirement. Horses are grazers and adapted to a grass diet, and diets high in grains and concentrates are associated with digestive upsets and behavioural disorders. It could therefore be of interest if the energy requirement of a high-performing horse could be met by forage. It is important that the forage have a high concentration of energy so that the horse is able to consume the whole amount of energy needed from the forage without exceeding the maximum voluntary intake. The purpose of this literature study was to investigate if the energy demand of a high-performance horse can be covered by forage produced under Northern Swedish climate conditions. The climate at high latitudes offer long days with relatively low temperatures during the growing season. This stimulates photosynthesis but inhibits lignification, which has a positive influence on the amount of digestible energy in the forage. The study shows that forage produced under Northern Swedish climate conditions has the potential of reaching energy values high enough to provide for high-performance horses demands. |

Hästar i hård träning på elitnivå har ett energibehov som ofta uppgår till dubbla underhållsbehovet. Hästen är en utpräglad gräsätare och höga kraftfodergivor kan leda till digestionsproblem och beteendestörningar. Därför tillgodoses energibehovet lämpligast genom vallfoder. För att ett vallfoder ska kunna tillgodose energibehovet hos en högpresterande häst, behöver energidensiteten i vallfodret vara tillräckligt hög så att hästens energibehov täcks utan att den maximala konsumtionsförmågan överskrids. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att undersöka om det finns möjlighet att täcka högpresterande hästars energibehov genom att enbart utfodra med ett vallfoder producerat under norrländska klimatförhållanden. Det norrländska klimatet erbjuder långa dagar och relativt låga temperaturer under växtsäsongen. Detta stimulerar fotosyntes men inhiberar lignifiering, vilket ger en positiv inverkan på den smältbara energin i fodret. Sammanställningen visar att de klimatförhållanden som råder i Norrland har potential att ge ett vallfoder med tillräckligt högt innehåll av energi för att tillgodose energibehovet hos en högpresterande häst. 2008-06-23 Other NonPeerReviewed application/pdf sv https://stud.epsilon.slu.se/12144/1/lindgren_e_171106.pdf Lindgren, Erika, 2008.
