How does adding fat to the diet of a performance horse improve its endurance?

Which of the following protein feedstuffs would be "best" to feed growing horses to ensure that amino acid requirements are met?
-Soybean meal

In pigs, the calcium to phosphorus ratio [Ca:P] should be formulated to be in which of the following ranges?
-1:1 to 1.5:1
It is recommended that a 1200 lb horse consume at least ____ lbs of forage per day
-12
Which of the following grains will LEAST likely cause milk fat depression in lactating dairy cows?
