VITAMIN K
There is no evidence that vit- amin K needs to be added to a horses ration: There is also no information available on the re- quirements of a hogse. A lack of Vitamin K delays the clotting time of blood. I would suggest that this vitamin be definitely added to the individual race horses ration that bleeds at the Rose during or after racing.
Here again there is very little research information available on the mineral needs of the horse. This is ver unfortunate be- Tause bone formation and good feet and legs are the most es- sential part of an animal that -is ig to make its mark in life Dy racing. 1 did read in one

and bad conformation.
Research organizations hav: worked out the requirements of a horse as compared to other animals and these are the figur- es we use. The calcium to phos- phorus ration is very important and this should be about one part of calcium to one part of Phosphorus after the animal has matured. During early growth the ratio approaches 1.5 parts of calcium to one part of phosphor- us. It is the general feeling that 2 horse being pushed for racing would have a higher require- +ment for these minerals. The nded amount of cal-
