“…Baseline glucose concentrations were consistent with the physiological concentrations reported in the literature for fasting horses, between 80 and 100 mg/dL, which reached 150 mg/dL at 3 h following the consumption of a starchy diet (Jacob et al, 2018). However, peak glucose concentrations did not reach this value.…”

“…The area under the curve (AUC) indicated that the inclusion of FPB did not increase blood glucose concentration over time. The AUC assists in the quantification of the glycemic response to a certain feedstuff with a known carbohydrate concentration: the sooner the glucose is removed from the bloodstream, the lower the AUC will be (Jacob et al, 2018).…”

Use of palm bran (<i>Nopalea cochenillifera</i> (L.) Salm-Dyck) in partial replacement of concentrate in maintenance equine diets – a pilot study

Abstract. Forage palm is extremely suitable as animal fodder due to its high tolerance to the climatic rigors of the semiarid region and its ability to withstand the harsh physical–chemical limitations of poor soils. Thus, in this study, the effects of the partial replacement (0 %, 5 %, 10 % and 15 % replacement) of a molasses- or oat-based commercial concentrate with forage palm bran (FPB) on the acceptability, apparent digestibility and glycemic response of horses at maintenance were evaluated. The ratio of concentrate to roughage (Tifton 85 hay) was 30:70, and the dry matter (DM) intake was 2 % of body weight (BW). For the preference test, 10 barren Mangalarga Marchador mares were used. The experimental diets were offered simultaneously to determine the consumption preference and the intake ratio. For the digestibility test, four mixed-breed geldings were used and were distributed in a Latin square experimental design (4×4). For the glycemic response, blood samples were collected 30 min before and 30, 60, 90, 120, 180 and 240 min after supplying the feed. The preference test indicated that feed containing 0 % and 5 % FPB was preferred by the animals. Nutrient digestibility coefficients did not differ among the experimental diets. Blood glucose was lower at 180 min in the 7.42 % FPB inclusion diet (R2=0.97); this was estimated using the following equation: Y=115.05-2.75x+0.19x2. It is concluded that the incorporation of up to 15 % of forage palm bran as a substitute for concentrate in the maintenance diet tested did not negatively influence feed intake, nutrient digestibility or glycemic index; however, inclusion values above 5 % reduced diet acceptability.

“…These horses have been highly bred, selecting for desirable show ring traits, but not necessarily for ideal hoof structure. Additionally, these horses are typically raised in partial stall confinement and on a diet rich in NSCs [12][13][14].…”

Histological comparison of the lamellar tissue of Iberian origin breed horses created in semi-feral conditions or in an intensive system

et al. 2023

Although the external conformation of wild horse hooves has been proposed as an ideal model for domesticated modern horses, histological signs of laminitis have been reported among them. With the hypothesis that the lamellar tissue of horses of Iberian origin raised in semi-feral is healthier than those raised in an intensive management system (stall confinement and high-calorie diet intake), the objective was to compare their lamellar tissues. Lamellar tissue samples were taken from the forelimb hoof of eight domesticated Mangalarga Marchador (MM) horses and from six semi-feral Marajoara (MJ) and Puruca (MP) horses. Primary epidermal lamella (PEL) and secondary epidermal lamella (SEL) were measured (length and width) in several regions, and their shapes were morphologically classified into different types. Breed groups were compared using analysis of variance, followed by Tukey or Dunn tests (P<0.05). Early signs of laminitis such as abnormal keratinization of the abaxial primary dermal lamella, tapered tips of the axial PELs, pointed tips of the SEL, nuclei condensation, and abnormal spatial orientation of the secondary epidermal basal cells (SELBC), were seen only in MM horses. MP horses had a greater interface of epidermis/dermis contact than MJ horses and more rounded nuclei in the round SELBC than MM horses. In agreement with the study hypothesis, semi-feral MJ and MP horses’ lamellae were classified as healthier than MM horses, which showed early signs of endocrinopathic laminitis.
