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.
Nutritional Management of Metabolic Diseases
Assembled by the nutritionists and veterinarians at Kentucky Equine Research (KER), this easy-to-use guide includes practical feeding and management recommendations for the following diseases: Pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID) Equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) Exertional rhabdomyolysis (RER) Polysaccharide storage myopathy (PSSM) Malignant hyperthermia (MH) Hyperkalemic periodic paralysis (HYPP)
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.
The Relationship Between Shin Soreness, Blood Parameters And Cannon Bone Measurements In Thoroughbreds Being Prepared For Two Year Olds In Training Sales
Pagan, J. D., L. A. Lawrence, D. Nash and P. J. Huntington. 2008. The relationship between shin soreness, blood parameters and cannon bone measurements in Thoroughbreds being prepared for two year olds in training sales. In: Proc. Aus. Eq. Symp. Vol. 2 Gold Coast, OLD. 4 – 6 June. pp. 40.
Skeletal Adaptations with the Onset of Training Thoroughbreds
As yearlings leave a breeding farm environment and enter training major changes occur in their skeletons.
The Relationship Between Bucked Shins, Blood Parameters And Cannon Bone Measurements In Thoroughbreds Being Prepared For Two Year Olds In Training Sales
Bucked shins is a term used to describe a condition of the third metacarpal bone which is related to bone fatigue and/ or stress fractures. This is a common problem in racehorses in the first year of training. Thirty Thoroughbreds were studied as they were prepared for two-year-olds in training sales that took place in […]
Effects Of Exercise And Training On Skeletal Development In Horses
The main role of the equine skeleton is to provide structural support. Conformation determines the functional integrity and success of the gaits of athletic horses.
Effects Of Oral Potassium Supplementation On Acid-base Status And Plasma Ion Concentrations Of Horses During Endurance Exercise.
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.
Antioxidant Supplementation And Subsequent Oxidative Stress Of Horses During An 80-km Endurance Race
This study tested the development of oxidative stress and the effects of antioxidant supplementation in an 80-km ride. A precompetition survey revealed that no competitor would participate without vitamin E supplementation; therefore, 46 horses were paired for past performances and randomly assigned to two groups of 23 each for 3 wk of supplementation before the ride.
Comparison Of The Metabolic Responses Of Trained Arabian And Thoroughbred Horses During Low And High Intensity Exercise
he metabolic responses to low and high intensity exercise were compared in 5
Arabian (AR) and 5 Thoroughbred (Tb) horses. The higher aerobic and anaerobic capacity of the Tb horses likely contributed to their superior high intensity exercise performance. Conversely, the AR may be better adapted for
endurance exercise as evidenced by the greater use of fat. These metabolic differences may reflect breed variation in muscle fiber types.
