Little is known about voluntary salt intake in horses. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to
measure the voluntary intake of loose versus block salt over time and evaluate how salt intake affects water consumption.

Reproductive efficiency in the mare is lowest among domestic livestock. Researchers set out to determine if this may be partly dependent on vitamin A status of mares. To test […]

Previous studies in our laboratory demonstrated a marked glycemic response when
horses were fed a fiber mix consisting of equal parts rice bran, soy hulls, wheat bran, and
soaked beet pulp (Pagan et al. 1999). We speculated that, in part, the beet pulp portion of
this fiber mix was responsible for the increase in plasma glucose concentrations after
meal ingestion. We further hypothesized that the magnitude of the glycemic response to
beet pulp would depend on how the beet pulp was prepared.

To delay the onset of fatigue, endurance horses are often fed at rest stops during races. The resulting increase in blood insulin may adversely inhibit lipolysis. In humans, ingestion of fructose produces a smaller insulin rise than glucose. This study compared glucose and fructose as carbohydrate supplements for endurance horses.
