A high-starch vs. high-fibre diet: effects on the gut environment of the different intestinal compartments of the horse digestive tract

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors compared the effects of two different diets -one based on high amounts of starch (HS) vs. one base on high amount of fibre (HF) on specific parameters of the gut environment across different intestinal compartments of the horse digestive tract.
Journal ArticleDOI

What Would Be Good for All Veterinarians to Know About Equine Nutrition.

TL;DR: Key factors with respect to the equine digestive tract are outlined and relevant aspects of ration formation are discussed, because inappropriate forage provision is one of the key limitations in many horse diets.
Journal ArticleDOI

Proof of Concept on Energy Expenditure Assessment Using Heart Rate Monitoring and Inertial Platforms in Show-jumping and Riding School Horses

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated whether inertial platforms would be useful tools to assess energy expenditure (EE) in horses and found that acceleration variables of vertical and lateral movement were generally better correlated with energy expenditure and oxygen uptake (VO2) than HR and speed.

Cellular energy utilization and molecular origin of standard metabolic rate in mammals

TL;DR: The differences in standard metabolic rate between animals of different body mass and phylogeny appear to be due to proportionate changes in the whole of energy metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of carbohydrate ingestion before and during exercise on glucose kinetics and performance.

TL;DR: It is concluded that preexercise ingestion of CHO improves performance only when CHO ingestion is maintained throughout exercise, and ingesting CHO during 120 min of cycling improves subsequent TT performance.

Feeding and microbial disorders in horses: Part 3—Effects of three hay:grain ratios on microbial profile and activities

TL;DR: As the proportion of barley increased, concentration of lactate-utilizing bacteria, lactobacilli and streptococci increased in the colon while it did not interfere significantly on these populations in the cecum, and changes of the microflora were associated with a significant decrease in intestinal pH and [(acetate+butyrate)/propionate] ratio, and a numerical increase of lactates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of the microbial and biochemical profile of the different segments of the digestive tract in horses given two distinct diets

TL;DR: The stomach ecosystem seemed the most affected by the composition of the last pelleted meal ingested : the stomach and the small intestine tended to host the greatest numbers of these bacteria, which suggests a high interference of micro-organisms with the digestion of readily fermentable carbohydrates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Starch digestion in horses: The impact of feed processing

TL;DR: Investigations are needed to identify the process which allows the highest prececal digestibility and decreases the hindgut fermentability of starch.
