This module is designed to highlight the interrelationship between research and business within the industry.

Fundamentals of experimental design and data analysis will be covered including the role and application of research when starting/developing an enterprise. It will assess the difficulties which must be identified and overcome along with analysis of the risks and evidenced based problem solving required, generating innovative ideas for enterprise development. Emphasis will be placed on understanding individual skills and personal development, and financial aspects, including profit and loss, as key components of enterprise management.

MODULE CODE: CORD2061 MODULE TITLE: Equine Nutrition and Physiology



SHORT MODULE DESCRIPTOR: (Max 425 characters)This module examines underpinning principles of exercise physiology and nutritional biochemistry. It offers an understanding of the physiological, nutritional and biochemical parameters that can determine levels of performance, athletic achievement and behaviour. Changes in the physiological systems of the horse in work are appraised with particular reference to intended performance and expected fitness levels.

MODULE AIMS: Apply the principles of animal nutrition in a broad context including feed analysis,

micronutrient deficiencies/excesses and ration formulation Analyse feeding practices including in relation to anatomy and physiology of a various types of

horse used for a variety of purposes Examine the effects of exercise and training upon specific body systems and in the successful

management of the performance horse Investigate the design of appropriate fitness regimes with due regard for the adaptive

responses required for different activities

ASSESSED LEARNING OUTCOMES: (Additional guidance below)At the end of the module the learner will be expected to be able to: Apply the principles of feeding and the supply of micronutrients based upon life stage and

intended purpose. Analyse the provision of nutrients according to expected levels of performance and fitness

programme/s. Examine the impact of nutritional management on behaviour. Determine the physiological effects of training, taking into account individual limitations to

performance.
