The process of digesting the hay in the cecum is what generates the heat.

You get cooler after eating because digestion requires blood flow and energy consumption. Extremities are less essential to the body, so blood is diverted away from them to complete the essential functions.

This got me thinking. I always get cold after I eat. Sometimes to the point of shivering. Even in summer. Does anyone know why??

I had a discussion with my farrier the other day about
feeding extra hay to keep warm at night. If the temps
drop below 25*, I will give my horses extra hay before
I go to bed at night. Which will keep the horse
warmer: alfalfa or grass hay? I said the mere act of
eating (grass hay) is what keeps them warm, my farrier
said the higher protein in alfalfa will keep them
warmer. If I feed the alfalfa at night, I can always
give them the grass in the morning. So, at night,
which is best for warmth??
