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.
