Abstract
A certain number of scientific data concerning the specific nutritiona l needs of racing sled dogs appears to be clearly established now. The y may seem disproportionate but constitute the keys to racing success in an area which is undergoing constant development. Scientific data r elating to huskies are piling up, which is reasonable, given the extre mes which this sport represents. Nutrition in racing sled dogs should be logical and not capitulate in the face of numerous witches' brews w hose only value is to flatter the owner's psyche.
