Dextrose Does Not Affect Rate of Absorption or Retention of Electrolytes in Idle Thoroughbreds
Two studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of dextrose or corn starch on uptake and retention of electrolytes and water in idle horses. In study 1, four Thoroughbreds (age: 6.25 ± 2.25 y; BW: 574.4 ± 82.4 kg) were used in a 4×4 Latin square trial. The horses were dosed with 92 g of […]
Furosemide Administration Affects Mineral Excretion and Balance in Non-Exercised and Exercised Thoroughbreds
Two studies were conducted to measure the effect of furosemide on 72-hour digestibility and urinary excretion of calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), potassium (K), and chloride (Cl) in nonexercised and exercised mature Thoroughbred geldings. In study 1, total fecal and urinary mineral excretion was measured in three unexercised Thoroughbred geldings for 72 […]
