Hay Horse! | Science Fair Projects | STEM Projects
Ever wonder which type of hay gives horses the most energy? In this science project, we'll find out by testing the glucose levels in the blood of horses after feeding them alfalfa, oat, and clover hay.

Hypothesis

The hypothesis is that alfalfa hay gives horses the most amount of energy.

Method & Materials

You will select 10 horses, feed them 7kg of hay each, and measure their glucose levels in the blood one hour after feeding.
You will need 10 horses, 70kg of alfalfa hay, 70kg of oat hay, 70kg of clover hay, a blood glucose tester, a bottle of alcohol, an electric shaver, 30 syringes, and a horse trainer.

Results

The results showed that the horses' glucose levels were highest after feeding on alfalfa hay, proving the hypothesis to be true.

Why do this project?

This science project is interesting because it shows how different types of hay can affect the energy levels of horses.

Also Consider

Variations of this science project could include testing different animals such as donkeys or goats, or comparing the glucose levels in young and older horses.
