The goal of the CRF Equine Nutrition Research Program is to improve the performance and health of the horse, economics and overall experience of horse ownership. This will be accomplished by conducting specific research studies and transferring the knowledge and economic advantages to our customers. 

The CRF Equine Research Team is comprised of experienced nutritionists and researchers from international member companies.

The Equine Research Team has identified specific types of horses in which to conduct research.
