The Long-term Effects Of Feeding Fat To Two-year-old Thoroughbreds In Training
The seven month study evaluated of feeding a fat supplemented diet during medium intensity aerobic training in 12 two year thoroughbreds.
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 […]

Forages: The Foundation For Gastrointestinal Health
Horses have evolved over millions of years as grazers, with specialized digestive tracts adapted to digest and utilize diets containing high levels of plant fiber.
Effect Of Triheptanoin On Muscle Metabolism During Submaximal Exercise In Horses
To compare effects of corn oil or a 7-carbon fat (triheptanoin) on acylcarnitine, lipid, and carbohydrate metabolism in plasma or muscle of exercising horses. Fatigue was not associated with depletion of citric acid cycle intermediates for either oil. Triheptanoin induced a significantly higher insulin secretion and did not appear to enhance muscle glycogen repletion.
