Hess TM, DS Kronfeld, CA Williams, JN Waldron PM Graham-Thiers, K Greiwe-Crandell, MA Lopes, PA Harris. 2005. Effects of oral potassium supplementation on acid-base status and plasma ion concentrations of horses during endurance exercise. Amer J Vet Rev 66(3):466-473.
OBJECTIVE:
To compare effects of oral supplementation with an experimental potassium-free sodium-abundant electrolyte mixture (EM-K) with that of oral supplementation with commercial potassium-rich mixtures (EM+K) on acid-base status and plasma ion concentrations in horses during an 80-km endurance ride.
