Overview

Excerpt from The Economics of Feeding Horses Of these, the first requires little mention here except to say that, whilst water adds to the weight of the food stuff, it adds nothing to its energy-producing value. The salts - often called the mineral matter or ash supply essential constituents of the body tissues; they assist in the processes of digestion; and some of them, such as the phosphates and the lime salts, are especially useful in young growing animals for the formation of bone, but they do not give rise to the production of energy in the body, and for this reason are not included in the so-called nutrients of a food.
