Abstract

U ovom diplomskom radu analiziran je utjecaj hranidbe žitaricama i potpunim krmnim smjesama na zdravlje konja. Žitarice poput zobi, kukuruza i ječma često se koriste kao osnovni izvor energije za konje, no njihova nepravilna uporaba može uzrokovati ozbiljne zdravstvene probleme, uključujući metaboličke poremećaje poput laminitisa, kolika i konjičkoga metaboličkoga sindroma (EMS). Rad također detaljno opisuje nutritivne vrijednosti žitarica te kako prekomjeran unos škroba može narušiti ravnotežu probavnog sustava konja. Posebna pažnja posvećena je potpunim krmnim smjesama koje se koriste za konje s posebnim prehrambenim potrebama. U zaključku, predložene su preporuke za optimalnu hranidbu kako bi se izbjegle bolesti uzrokovane nepravilnom hranidbom.

Abstract (english)

This master’s thesis analyzes the impact of feeding grains and complete feeds on horse health. Grains such as oats, corn, and barley are often used as primary energy sources for horses, but improper use can lead to serious health issues, including metabolic disorders like laminitis, colic, and Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS). The thesis also details the nutritional values of grains and how excessive starch intake can disrupt the horse’s digestive balance. Special attention is given to complete feeds designed for horses with specific dietary needs. The conclusion offers recommendations for optimal feeding practices to prevent diseases related to improper nutrition.
