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.

Slade LM, Hintz HF.A comparative digestion trial was conducted between horses, ponies, rabbits and guinea pigs. Alfalfa and alfalfa-grain diets were compared. Although there was a trend for ponies to be more efficient than horses in digesting proximate principles of both diets, differences were not significant. Digestibility coefficients for crude fiber and energy were lowest in rabbits. The digestion of nitrogen-free extract (NFE) was greatest in guinea pigs, whereas digestion of crude protein was lowest. Horses, ponies and rabbits digested organic matter, NFE and energy in the mixed ration more efficient...

Littlejohn A.The mortality following operations for intestinal obstructions in horses decreased from 80 per cent during the period 1849-1913 to 22 per cent during the period 1934-1964. Mortality following operations for high intestinal obstructions was greater than for low intestinal obstructions, and the mortality following operations for strangulating obstructions was more than twice as great as the mortality following simple obstructions. The most frequent cause of death following operations was failure to correct the causal condition, or subsequent impaction. The anaesthesia techniques most frequently...
