Furosemide Administration Affects Mineral Excretion in Exercised Thoroughbreds
Pagan, J., Waldridge, B., Whitehouse, C., Fuchs, S. and Goff, M. (2014), Furosemide Administration Affects Mineral Excretion in Exercised Thoroughbreds. Equine Veterinary Journal, 46:4. (International Conference on Equine Exercise Physiology 2014) Furosemide is widely administered to Thoroughbred and Standardbred racehorses to reduce the incidence and severity of EIPH. The magnitude and duration of mineral loss […]
Effect of Nonstructural Carbohydrate, Fat and Fiber Intake on Glycogen Repletion Following Intense Exercise
Mesquita, V., Pagan, J., Valberg, S., Waldridge, B. and Whitehouse, C. (2014), Effect of Non-Structural Carbohydrate, Fat and Fiber Intake on Glycogen Repletion Following Intense Exercise. Equine Veterinary Journal, 46: 33. (International Conference on Equine Exercise Physiology 2014) Muscle glycogen is a potentially limiting substrate for horses during intense exercise. Low-starch, high-fat concentrates have become popular […]
Effect Of Diet On Thoroughbred Horses With Recurrent Exertional Rhabdomyolysis Performing A Standardised Exercise Test
Previous studies have associated recurrent exertional rhabdomyolysis (RER) with a diet high in soluble carbohydrate (CHO). The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 3 diets on clinical and metabolic parameters in 5 Thoroughbred horses with RER and 3 healthy Thoroughbreds performing a standardised exercise test (SET). Two diets were formulated to meet energy requirements for the amount of exercise being performed in the form of CHO or fat (21.4 Mcal DE/day).
