Performance requirement
The performance requirement is the proportion of the energy requirement that goes beyond mere maintenance (see also: maintenance requirement) – for any kind of performance, e.g. targeted exercise, sport, build-up of body mass (growth as well as muscles), extreme temperature regulation, pregnancy, milk production, etc.
Correctly assessing performance is often difficult. It is frequently overestimated. Daily exercise (7 days per week) with 40 minutes of walk, 20 minutes of trot and 10 minutes of canter, for example, still counts as light work.
