Hippology

By Mohamed Aroua

Equine breeding is based on mastery of the biological, nutritional and behavioral foundations of the horse, donkey and their hybrids. It aims to reconcile productivity, well-being and sustainability. Knowledge of digestive physiology, reproduction and nutritional requirements enables rations and management to be adapted according to age, weight and activity. Feeding must remain based on forage, precisely supplemented with energy, proteins, minerals and vitamins. Reproduction, influenced by photoperiod and nutrition, now benefits from biotechnologies (AI, embryo transfer). Housing, hygiene and health prevention guarantee the health and safety of the animals. The success of modern breeding depends on genetic selection, biosecurity, traceability and the rational management of resources. The breeder thus becomes the guardian of the living heritage, reconciling science, ethics and sustainable performance in the service of equine well-being.
