South Dakota State University (SDSU) and the SDSU Extension are asking all South Dakota horse owners to set aside a few minutes to fill out the online equine nutrition survey before Oct. 31.

"This survey is designed to provide information to horse owners as well as SDSU Extension and the Department of Animal Science staff," explained Heidi Carroll, MS, SDSU Extension Livestock Stewardship Associate.

Carroll encourages all horse owners from South Dakota and neighboring states, 18 years and older, who own at least one horse to fill out the survey.

A unique feature to this survey is that once horse owners complete it, they are provided with the answers to the knowledge based questions about equine nutrition and health. The survey tests owners’ knowledge and gives a quick learning experience while collecting information about horse care
