Effect Of Dextrose Supplementation On Electrolyte And Water Absorption In Resting Thoroughbreds
Commercial electrolyte products often contain dextrose, which is purported to improve electrolyte uptake in horses. Studies conducted at Kentucky Equine Research suggest that adding dextrose or starch to electrolyte mixes does not increase rate of absorption or retention of electrolytes, Dextrose may still have some value in improving the palatability of electrolyte mixes, but the […]
Fish Oil Supplementation Attenuates Abnormal Glucose Clearance Caused By High Dietary Fat Intake In Aged Thoroughbred Geldings
The aim of this study was to investigate the glucose dynamics in horses fed a high fat or moderate carbohydrate diet and to investigate if fish oil moderated these effects.
Moderate Dietary Carbohydrate Improves and High Dietary Fat Impairs Glucose Tolerance in Aged Thoroughbred Geldings
Low-carbohydrate diets are often recommended for horses with metabolic syndrome and high-fat diets are useful for managing horses suffering from RER and PSSM. It is questionable whether these types of diets are appropriate for normal, non-obese horses. This study was conducted to determine whether a moderate daily intake of carbohydrate from oats or a high […]

Body Weight, Wither Height And Growth Rates In Thoroughbreds Raised In America, England, Australia, New Zealand, And India
The purpose of this study was to obtain growth data from populations of Thoroughbreds born and raised in various countries and compare body weight, daily weight gain, and wither height growth curves. Information was collected for the years 1996 to 2006. A linear regression model with foal age as the explanatory variable and country as […]
