RE: [RC] Nutrition - Susan E. Garlinghouse, DVMOne kcal is equivalent to 0.004186 megajoules. Susan Garlinghouse, DVM -----Original Message----- From: ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Don Huston Sent: Friday, September 07, 2007 9:54 AM To: ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [RC] Nutrition A question for you nutrition experts. I have an article that suggests that a 450kg (1000lb) endurance horse needs 150-165 MJ/day of digestible energy to maintain good condition while training for and riding 80km (50mi) endurance rides. I have a hay analysis that suggests alfalfa has 620 kcal/lb of energy. My question is how do I convert kcal to MJ?
