Q

Glucosamine
An essential building block for proteoglycans which make up the non-structural component of cartilage. Glucosamine has been recognised as a

A

beneficial nutraceutical for joint health in both horses and humans1 for many years. It has been shown to reduce inflammation and cartilage turnover2

27
Q

Perennial Ryegrass

A

high in energy

28
Q

late cut hay will have relativly high amounts of

A

ligin which reduces digestability

29
Q

more digestable energy in

A

haylage than hay

30
Q

Haylage retains

A

50-70% moisture

31
Q

horses on 24 hour unlimited grazing can eat up to

A

5% of bodyweight

32
Q

Horses given forage three times per day as opposed to twice per day were more almost

A

18 times more likely to improve

33
Q

amount of forage that is wasted when feeding horses, with some estimating that in Europe, around

A

30% of the hay or haylage fed to horses ends up on the muck heap.

34
Q

using a net significantly reduced hay wastage without increasing the risk of

A

dental issues

35
Q

oil is

A

starch free

36
Q

All oils contain a similar amount of energy (calories) – approximately

A

3.5MJ DE per 100mls

37
Q

Did you know high oil diets should be balanced with additional vitamin E? The total diet should provide an additional

A

100iu of Vit E for every 100ml of oil fed.

38
Q

Starch escaping digestion in the small intestine ends up in the horse’s hindgut where it is rapidly fermented.

A

This results in a more acidic environment and a change in the intestinal microbiota. This change has also been linked to an increased risk of colic, laminitis and even behavioural changes.

39
Q

High-starch diets are not recommended for horses with metabolic and muscular problems, including

A

EMS, Cushings and Rhabdomyolysis

40
Q

300ml of oil provides approximately the same amount of energy (calories)

A

1kg of oats

40
Q

narrowest part of the seat is defined as the

A

Twist

41
Q

Maximum Starch

A

2g per 1kg of bodyweight per day
1g per 1kg of BW per meal

42
Q

Some horses are sensitive to alfalfa

A

ulcers/typing up

43
Q

Enterolith formation

A

may be linked to alfalfa

44
Q

In horses fed high amounts of alfalfa (80-100% of the total forage intake as alfalfa), some horses may develop

A

photosenitisation

45
Q

Alfalfa and Laminitis
Alfalfa is low in

A

starch and sugar (less than 5%)

46
Q

oxytetracycline

A

foals contradected tendons

47
Q

Bran - Starch content

A

approx 23%

48
Q

Calcium Phosphorous Ration

A

2:1

49
Q

bran C- P is

A

1:11

50
Q

If you are feeding wheat bran, for every kg you feed you should add at least

A

2 x 25ml (55g) per day of limestone flour.

51
Q

The horse’s ability to digest fat/oil is highest (60-95% digested) when added as pure oil, compared with

A

5-60% in forage and 50-75% in grains

52
Q

Linseed oil/Flaxseed oil

A

+ highly palatable
+ highest in Omega 3 (53g/100ml of oil)
+ low in Omega 6 (13g/100ml of oil)
+ Omega 3:6 ratio of over 4:1
+ provides a small amount of Vitamin E

53
Q

Rapeseed oil

A

+ cheap

– low level of Omega 3 (9g/100ml of oil)
– moderate amount of Omega 6 (20g/100ml of oil)

54
Q

Olive oil

A

+ provides small amounts of Vitamin E and K

– low in Omega 3 (1g/100ml of oil)
– high in Omega 6 (10g/100ml of oil)

55
Q

Linseed oil is still the best oil for horses based on

A

profile, palatability, availability and price.

56
Q

Particularly avoid wheat oil, oat oil, corn oil, soya oil, rice bran oil and sunflower oil – ALL HIGH in

A

Omega 6 and LOW in Omega 3

57
Q

Don’t buy any oils that are in clear or light coloured plastic containers. Oil is oxidised by even very low levels of

A

UV light

58
Q

sodium bicarbonate

A

acid - gastirc ulcer

59
Q

Saracen Level Grow Mix

A

Low glycaemic product - meaning that it doesn’t cause the insulin spikes that are directly linked to developmental issues in the joints

60
Q

Mount St Johns Stud feed

A

STAMM30 Stud Balancer topped up with Level-Grow Cubes

61
Q

Saracen RE-COVERY MASH can be fed up to 3kg per day as part of an

A

electrolyte replenishment programme.

62
Q

Oats contain much less starch

A

than maize, wheat and barley (apart from Naked Oats)

63
Q

Oats - Advantages

A

➡️ High energy
➡️ Palatable
➡️ Quality protein
➡️ Low iron

64
Q
