20.01.2022 - NUTRITION RELATED LAMINITIS - Laminitis is the inflammation of the laminae tissue inside the hoof. It can affect one or all feet, but most often s...een in the front feet where blood flow to the laminae is disrupted and the structure is weakened due to the inflammation. The hoof wall to bone bond is interfered with and the laminae is unable to hold the coffin bone in place. This results in an extremely painful side effect where the coffin bone is pushed towards the ground (weight) and the pull of the deep digital flexor tendon rotates the coffin bone. There are many factors that can contribute to laminitis but a common cause is nutrition related through carbohydrate overload. When the diet is overloaded with carbohydrates, starches and sugars (e.g grains) the following cascade of events results: Decreased pH in the hindgut (acid increases) Death of the acid utilising Gram Negative Bacteria (Good microbes) Endotoxin release into the blood stream Histamine - blood vessel constriction/dilation Laminae Destruction Hoof Deterioration LAMINITIS To help reduce the risk of nutrition related laminitis in horses, make fibre the base of the diet with adequate intake daily. This will preserve the correct pH environment in the hindgut, making for a healthier environment for the good microbes to thrive. Look for feeds that have NSC% (Sugar and starch) less than 10%. If you need to feed a grain for extra energy, choose ones with lower starch and sugar % e.g oats Also match grain input to workload, to avoid overloading. For horses on pasture with high fructans (sugars) reduce time spent when sugars are at highest and allow access to a low sugar/starch grassy hay like rhodes grass. CEN Oil is a trusted high quality source of Omega 3 safe for horses who are prone/suffer laminitis. Not only does it promote anti-inflammatory conditions but can be used a safe cool source of calories. Highly beneficial for horses on hay reliant diet who will be deficient in Omega 3. Omega 3 is essential for overall health, particularly for brain, nerve and muscle function, the immune system, coat/skin, joints and hooves. CEN Complete Formula feed is a safe complete feed for horses prone/suffering from laminitis. NSC% (sugars and starches) at less than 10%, it is a high fibre, non-grain based feed with a high vitamin and mineral profile at levels to promote better absorption. Live probiotics and prebiotics are also included to promote optimum digestive health on a daily basis. Any questions? Please ask in the comments below Additional Laminitis Info: In a recent study in VIC, Australia - From a survey population of 233 horses and ponies, 15.0% of animals (35 individuals) were reported to have suffered from at least one episode of laminitis. Of the animals that had suffered from laminitis, more than half had experienced multiple episodes. The majority of previously laminitic horses and ponies (71.4%) had not experienced an episode of laminitis within the past 12 months; however, 14.2% had experienced an incident within the past month. Given the high incidence of animals that had been affected by laminitis (and the associated welfare implications), this study highlights the importance of owner education regarding appropriate feeding and management strategies to reduce the risk of laminitis.

13.01.2022 Interesting posted by Chuck Nifong who shared Beadle Lake Large Animal Clinic's status. ....Many of people have ask over the years .... What does the Swirl mean..., well here you go. My Grandfather taught me this many years ago and I have found it to be TRUE *~_CN_~* Swirlology 101- (whorl patterns). Have you ever wondered what the whorl pattern on your horse's forehead means. Some old timers have said it can be the gateway to the soul. See if you agree. A swirl located between the eyes indicates an easy going, uncomplicated horse. Swirls higher on the forehead indicate intelligence and a more reactive nature. Long swirls, especially those that extend below the eye indicate a friendly and agreeable nature. Multiple swirls can indicate multiple personalities. High and tight side by side swirls can mean a horse that is super focused and talented, but challenging and difficult in the wrong hands. 2 swirls on top of each other can mean extreme personality swings and unpredictability. Multiple swirls that form a Z pattern can signal a horse that is dangerous and violent. The direction that the whorl turns can tell you if the horse is right or left "handed" (or hoofed) . If the whorl flows counterclockwise it is left "handed". If the whorl flows clockwise it is right "handed". Tell us any other wives tales you have heard about whorl patterns.
