Topic:Gastrointestinal Health

Gastrointestinal health in horses encompasses the study of the structure, function, and disorders of the equine digestive system. The equine gastrointestinal tract is complex, consisting of the stomach, small intestine, cecum, and large intestine, each playing a specific role in digestion and nutrient absorption. Research in this area often focuses on common disorders such as colic, gastric ulcers, and parasitic infections, which can impact a horse's overall health and performance. Investigations examine factors affecting gastrointestinal health, including diet, management practices, and the microbiome. This page compiles peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore the physiology, pathology, and management of gastrointestinal health in horses.

Roberts MC.SUMMARY A D(+) xylose absorption test has been standardised for use in the horse. A dose of 2 g. xylose/Kg. body-weight is required to produce a maximum plasma xylose level of 30 mg./100ml. after two hours. There are limitations to the procedure being used as a routine clinical screening test of small intestinal dysfunction in the horse. RÉSUMÉ On a standardisé un test d'absorption du D(+) xylose pour le cheval. Une dose de 2 gr de xylose par kilo de poids vif est nécessaire pour produire une élevation du xylose plasmatique jusqu'à 30 mg par 100 ml après deux heures. Il y a d...

Roberts MC, Kidder DE, Hill FW.Two enzymes having lactase activity are present in the equine small intestine. The first, the digestive enzyme, neutral beta-galactosidase, declines in activity from birth to three years, disappearing completely between 3 and 4 years of age. The other, the soluble lysosomal enzyme, acid beta-galactosidase, having affinity for lactose and a synthetic beta-galactoside, shows a decrease in activity in the first three months of life and thereafter varies little in activity and represents the lactase enzyme in the adult horse. This pattern may parallel the development of lactase activity in many ot...
