“…Horses normally store high concentrations of glycogen in muscle, but these concentrations can be reduced by more than 50% leading to muscle fatigue [46,80,81]. Low muscle glycogen concentration before exercise has been associated with decreased performance, whereas high muscle glycogen content enhances endurance performance [82]. Therefore, feeding strategies before, during, and after exercise that increase or spare muscle glycogen content are important in endurance competitions.…”

“…The digestive system of a horse relies extensively on symbiosis with the microbiome of the caecum and colon [ 25 ], where plant fibre indigestible for mammals is fermented by bacteria. The end products of this process, short-chained or volatile fatty acids [ 26 ], are absorbed from the hindgut to the horse’s systemic circulation, metabolized in the liver, stored in the fat tissue, and utilized as energy in tissues such as striated muscle [ 27 ]. Extra dietary fat is well absorbed from the small intestine and can be used as a part of balanced nutrition plan in horses [ 27 ].…”

Mild–moderate and severe equine asthma (MEA and SEA) are prevalent inflammatory airway conditions affecting horses of numerous breeds and disciplines. Despite extensive research, detailed disease pathophysiology and the differences between MEA and SEA are still not completely understood. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid cytology, broadly used in clinical practice and in equine asthma research, has limited means to represent the inflammatory status in the lower airways. Lipidomics is a field of science that can be utilized in investigating cellular mechanisms and cell-to-cell interactions. Studies in lipidomics have a broad variety of foci, of which fatty acid and lipid mediator profile analyses and global lipidomics have been implemented in veterinary medicine. As many crucial proinflammatory and proresolving mediators are lipids, lipidomic studies offer an interesting yet largely unexplored means to investigate inflammatory reactions in equine airways. The aim of this review article is to collect and summarize the findings of recent lipidomic studies on equine airway inflammation.

Nutritional considerations for equine rhabdomyolysis syndrome

Summary Exertional rhabdomyolysis represents a syndrome of typically recurrent exercise‐associated muscle damage in horses that arises from a variety of aetiologies. Major advances have been made in recent years in our understanding of the pathophysiology of equine rhabdomyolysis syndrome (ERS), and a few specific causative genetic defects have been identified. Despite the fact that there is no single procedure or set of procedures (including diet and management) that can guarantee against further episodes of ERS, appropriate management of susceptible individuals, including nutrition, may help to reduce the likelihood, severity or frequency of future episodes. Whilst the dietary advice can be more specific and targeted for those with a known intrinsic muscle problem, for all affected individuals, regardless of the underlying cause, a balanced diet (which is suitable for the individual), together with a well‐designed exercise programme, should be the initial management target. This paper will briefly review the condition and give general nutrition and management advice.
