Equine Biology
Equine biology is the study of horses, focusing on their anatomy, physiology, and genetics. Horses belong to the species Equus ferus caballus and are known for their unique skeletal structure, which supports their large size and enables movement. Their digestive system is designed for a herbivorous diet, primarily consisting of grasses and grains.
In addition to physical characteristics, equine biology also examines horse behavior and reproduction. Understanding these aspects helps in the management and care of horses, whether for equestrian sports, work, or companionship. Research in this field contributes to better health and welfare practices for these animals.
