The Horse-Eater

Product Information

Although digestion in the stomach is primarily through gastric acidic and enzymes, small amounts of microbial fermentation of starch and sugars taking place in the squamous part of the stomach is normal due to the presence of certain types of microbes. When a large meal is fed, however, this fermentation can rapidly increase and get out of hand. Lactic acid produced from excessive microbial fermentation means the squamous section becomes strongly acidic, leaving the lining vulnerable to ulcers.

Feeding plenty of forage ensures correct hindgut digestion, allowing adequate production of essential B vitamins in most cases. However, in horses that are working very hard, or those that are under stress or are having diarrhea (scouring), B vitamin production may fall short of requirements. Supplementing B vitamins can stimulate appetite.Make sure that he has a constant supply of fresh, clean water available.

This is a very easy way to learn idioms. But the quality of sound should be improved. Research has indicated that larger, starchy, less frequent meals result in a higher glycaemic response¹. The glycaemic response is the level of increase of blood glucose following a meal and when blood glucose rises so does insulin to encourage tissues to uptake the glucose. Glucose ‘spikes’ from feeding one or two large meals per day means extra insulin will be released which may eventually lead to insulin resistance and hyperinsulinaemia (increased insulin in the blood). Hyperinsulinaemia is a risk for laminitis. Colic Making a mess with the feed often indicates that there are problems with the teeth. In that case, you can see wet balls of roughage in and beside the manger (‘quidding’). Another cause could be the tastiness of your feed. Some horses have a very specific taste. You can also have restless eaters, who throw their feed out of the manger, or, even worse, destruct the whole manger. The reason could be a busy environment.

Unlike us humans, horses produce stomach acid constantly, even when the stomach is empty. When a horse eats continually, i.e. little and often, chewing produces a consistent volume of saliva to help buffer stomach acid. This helps prevent ulcers forming in the upper (squamous) area which has no mucus layer to protect its lining. Infrequent feeding means no saliva is produced when the horse is not eating, leaving this area vulnerable to acid penetration which can lead to gastric ulcers.
