The Influence of Time of Feeding on Exercise Response in Thoroughbreds Fed a Fat-Supplemented or High-Carbohydrate Diet
Recent research has demonstrated that feeding supplement fat to thoroughbred horses altered blood glucose and insulin levels compared to a grain based diet and these changes influenced substrate selection during a standardized exercise test.
Responses Of Blood Glucose, Lactate And Insulin In Horses Fed Equal Amounts Of Grain With Or Without Added Soy Bean Oil
When fat is substituted for carbohydrate isocalorically in a horse’s ration blood glucose and insulin response to feeding is reduced. This paper discusses an experiment designed to evaluate the affects of fat on glycemic response.
Preweaning Diet And Stall Weaning Method Influences On Stress Response In Foals
The stress response of foals during weaning was examined in terms of a behavioral protocol and the responses of plasma ascorbate, serum cortisol, and the serum cortisol response to an ACTH challenge.
