“…During the training period, all horses were without access to the grazing pasture and were housed individually in a stall or a small paddock except during training. This housing condition is similar to that of adult racehorses under known ulcerogenic conditions [4,11]. Commonly, training for racehorses keeps throughout the year, and the running distance for training in racehorses is similar to the young horses.…”

ABSTRACT. Prevalence of equine gastric ulcer syndrome in 85 young Thoroughbreds was investigated. The presence of gastric ulcers was confirmed in 27.1% (23/85) of the horses by endoscopic examination. Sixty-two horses without gastric ulcers were allocated randomly to either the treated group (31 horses) or sham-dosed control group (31 horses) in order to investigate the efficacy of omeprazole oral paste in the prevention of gastric ulcers. At the second endoscopic examination conducted after 28 days of administration, only 1 horse in the treated group developed gastric ulcers, while 12 horses developed gastric ulcers in the control group. Based on these data, the efficacy of omeprazole in prevention of equine gastric ulcers in young Thoroughbreds during the training period was confirmed.

“…6). Scores improvement could be explained with the buffering effect of thosecomponents such as alfalfa hay (Husted et al, 2008), magnesium hydroxide and calcium carbonate (Clark et al, 1996). Besides, there are also other nutrients, such as threonine, Glycirrizaglabra (liquorice), Aloe vera, antioxidant factors and mucilages, that may have a protective effect on the gastric mucosa.…”

Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS) is one of the most common causes of poor performance in the equine patient and affects more than 90% of Standardbred and Thoroughbred racehorses in training. Nowadays, the principal therapeutic options for EGUS treatment include antiacids such as histamine receptor antagonists and proton pump inhibitors. Recently, many studies concerning feed supplements to treat and prevent EGUS were carried out. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of a natural feed supplement, administered for 30 days, as the only treatment for gastric ulcerations in sport horses in training. Seven horses were selected for the study on the basis of their gastroscopic evidence of erosive and ulcerative lesions of the gastric mucosa. Each horse received a natural feed supplement (Gastrocure, Institute Farmaceutico Candioli, Italy) registered for use in horses for 30 days. Gastroscopy was performed on day 0 (T 1 ), day 15 (T 2 ) and at the end of the treatment (day 30, T 3 ). Scores were assigned according to MacAllister method (score 0,1,2,3,4 for number of lesions and score 0,1,2,3,4,5 for lesion severity). Statistical analysis showed a strong evidence (p<0.01) of lower scores occurring at T 3 when compared to T1for both number and severity of gastric lesions. In conclusion, the administration of Gastrocure was effective in reducing the number and severity of ulcerative lesions in horses affected by EGUS.

“…Existe una lista extensiva de factores o causas directas involucradas en el SUGE, donde se incluye entre los factores inherentes como el sexo, raza y temperamento. Entre las causas exógenas como los programas de entrenamiento, nivel de competición, confinamiento, medicaciones frecuentes (particularmente, con los antiinflamatorios no esteroidales [AINEs]), inadecuado manejo alimentario y bacterias acidorresistentes; son descritos en la literatura como inductores de SUGE (1,4).…”

“…There is an extensive list of factors or direct causes involved in EGUS; these could include inherent factors such as gender, breed, age, and temperament. However, exogenous causes like training programs, level of competition, confinement level, concurrent medication (particularly, with non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs [NSAID]), inadequate feed management, and acid-fast bacteria producing metabolites, among others, are described in the literature as EGUS inducers (1,4).…”

Objetive. To determine the influence of corn oil on the volatile fatty acids (VFA) concentrations in the gastric juice in horses with phenylbutazone (PBZ) induced gastric ulcers and Correlate the gastroscopic findings with the VFA concentrations. Materials and methods. 15 horses were allotted in 3 groups. Group I (control) received placebo during first 6 days (induction period) and was treated with sucralfate for 2 weeks (treatment period). Groups II and III received PBZ during the induction phase. After 6 days, horses from group II received 70 mL of corn oil /100 kg of body weight/ po, twice a day, for 2 weeks and horses from group III received 90 mL of corn oil/100 kg of body weight/ po, twice a day, for 2 weeks. All horses were examined by gastroscopy at days 0, 7 and 21. The lesions were recorded and classified according to the number and severity. Samples from gastric fluid were taken to measure the concentrations of the acetic, propionic, butyric and lactic acids. Results. Both PBZ protocols produced lesions in the both non-glandular and glandular areas of the stomach. All the treatments produced healing of the injured mucosa glandular. Neither of the two corn oil treatments affected healing of the gastric ulcers located in the non-glandular area. Conclusions. The concentrations of acetic and butyric acids were highest in the gastric juice. The corn oil and sucralfate did not lead to differences in the concentration of acetic acid and butyric acid.Keywords: Equine, stomach, gastric juices, endoscopy, sucralfate (Sources: CAB, DeCs). RESUMENObjetivo. Determinar el efecto del aceite de maíz sobre la concentración de los ácidos grasos volátiles (AGV) en el jugo gástrico de caballos con úlceras gástricas inducidas con fenilbutazona (FBZ) y correlacionar los hallazgos gastroscópicos con las concentraciones de AGV.

Effect of paddock vs. stall housing on 24 hour gastric pH within the proximal and ventral equine stomach

Abstract: The change in housing status used in the current study did not affect acid exposure within either region of the equine stomach. The pH in the ventral stomach was uniformly stable throughout the study, while the proximal pH demonstrated a 24 h circadian pattern.
