Kentucky Equine Research: Science-Backed Nutrition for Better Horse Care
Kentucky Equine Research (KER) brings equine nutrition research and practical expertise together to help horse owners make more confident decisions about feeding and care. Its work focuses on supporting healthier horses and helping them perform at their best throughout every stage of life—so you can spend less time second-guessing your horse’s nutrition and more time enjoying your partnership.
Based in the heart of the Thoroughbred industry, KER operates a research farm in Versailles, Kentucky, and a Thoroughbred training center in Ocala, Florida. These facilities allow its team to study equine nutrition and exercise physiology in both research and real-world training environments.
KER applies its findings to the development of nutritional supplements, feed ingredients, and partner feeds. Its experienced staff and laboratory resources support carefully designed studies, product testing, and quality-control work, including screening KER-affiliated ingredients and supplements for prohibited substances.
