Critical care in the U.S. accounts for 20 percent of all health care costs, and 1 percent of the gross national domestic product, the researchers wrote.
Horses can and do eat leaves. Mine like the poplar leaves, but like many other foods, some, like the red maple, and stone fruit tree leaves, like cherry and apricot, are toxic. Thanks! Yes, apple seeds do contain small amounts of a toxic chemical; however, the greater threat for horses that eat apple cores is choking.

Be sure that the food is clean, remove all stickers and rubber bands, if feeding something like brocolli. My horses didn't care for bananas too much, but they loved the banana peels. It was neat to watch them squeeze the banana out of the peel, let it fall to the ground and proceed to eat the peeling. Mine ate lots of carrots and apples. We would slice the apples in half before feeding them, so the younger horses wouldn't get them caught in their windpipes. Years later, the horse pasture has numerous dwarf apple trees growing in it, from the years of feeding the horses the apples from our trees.
