The Relationship Between Glycemic Response And The Incidence Of OCD In Thoroughbred Weanlings: A Field Study

More specifically, foals that experience an exaggerated and sustained increase in circulating glucose or insulin in response to a carbohydrate (grain) meal may be predisposed to development of osteochondrosis.
