25.01.2022 It's not just about sugars: Here are some interesting Forage Test Results from 3 properties: Block A was classic over-grazed autumn grass. (Green grass photo) B...lock B was mixed grasses including brown-top and cocksfoot, hadn’t been fertilised for years, the grass a few inches long as it hadn’t been grazed since the hay was cut. (yellower grass photo) Block C was another local over-grazed autumn grass paddock where a thoroughbred had developed laminitis (similar to the horse in the previous post). On Block A our mare was ‘affected’: titchy and ‘girthy’ to saddle, humped and bunny-hopped on the lunge with back legs together, kicked out at the saddle strings dangling on her sides, threw her head in the air and swished her tail. Her hoof trimmer had recently pointed out some pinking in her white line. She was certainly not a horse with metabolic syndrome. We moved her down to Block B and within a week, when saddled, she lunged completely normally and cantered beautifully, no kicking, no girthiness, humping or bunny-hopping. We gathered samples of the grass from each block and sent them away for analysis. It was quite a mission to get several hundred grams of the short grass on Blocks A & C for the test, not so hard on Block B. The samples were all collected early in the morning, Blocks A & B on the same day. Block A - mare was 'grass-affected' Block B - mare back to normal within a week Block C - non-EMS TB developed laminitis Here are the relevant Comparisons: Block A Block B Block C Nitrogen 4.1% 1.7% 5.4% Nitrate 359mg/kg <100mg/kg 2290mg/kg Crude Protein 27% 10.8% 36% Potassium 2.5% 1.2% 3.4% Magnesium 0.25% 0.19% 0.28% Calcium 0.55% 0.58% 0.51% Soluble Sugars 5.4% 4.9% 7% Results like these indicate that high Nitrogen levels common in ‘Autumn’ grass (also represented in Nitrates and Crude Protein in these analyses) and potassium levels are significant factors when assessing whether grass is suitable for horses to graze. We have other forage analyses which show a similar pattern. Some have the added complication of high sugar levels. So keeping horses calm, healthy and moving properly is not only about sugar levels, you can see in all 3 samples they were well under 10%. Pastures which have potassium, Crude Protein and sugar content similar to that of Block B are much safer for the purpose of grazing and mean the horses can spend more time out there. More about Crude Protein and True Protein coming up. Picture 1. ‘Indy’- beautiful mare aged 26, who spent her whole life in a ‘Grass-sensitive’ state until we changed her management so that she was never exposed to unsuitable grass Picture 2. Grass on Block A where she was 'affected' Picture 3, Grass on Block B where she was great

18.01.2022 ? ? Due to drought conditions access to ANY hay is important for most horses. (except metabolic horses which... high sugar + starch hay needs to be avoided) It is the chewing & digestion of the roughage that satisfies a horse’s inbuilt natural drive to graze continuously, helping neutralise the rising stomach acid and for digestive and mental/behavioural health 75% of your horse’s diet should be roughage in the form of hay or pasture. Good quality hay can meet or exceed protein needs. Once hay is cured and stored, the vitamins and Omega 3 levels decrease. Hay provides energy from volatile fatty acids from hind gut fermentation, they are a source of calories and provide unique health benefits. The Best Hay Type: Rhodes grass hay is considered the best in terms of the sugar + starch profile. Low sugar + starch levels allows for safe unlimited continuous grazing, this prevents insulin spikes in insulin resistant/laminitic prone horses, Because every batch made has variable nutrient profiles due to growing conditions, always monitor your horse closely after changing harvest batches. Teff hay is considered to be the next best in terms of the sugar + starch profile. Though again variability with harvest has seen sugar and starch levels above the safe 10% range. Important to monitor your horse’s response initially when changing harvest batches. Lucerne hay is considered to be low in sugar + starch but for unknown reasons a horse may react to the amino acid profile or be intolerant of lucerne. It is a legume rather than a grass so should not be fed straight as it produces a lot of gas. This is due to the high pectin and high protein that causes bloating or diarrhoea if introduced into the diet too quickly. Lucerne in small amounts is great for boosting calcium and protein (high quality amino acid profile) It has a ratio of calcium to phosphorus of over 4:1 where the ideal ratio for a horse should be near 2:1. (Most grasses are 1:1) A mix of 70% grassy to 30% lucerne hay is often found to be a good mix if you choose to feed this way. Meadow Hay/Grass Hay Meadow hay and grass hay can be a combination of various species of grass harvested and it is almost impossible to estimate the sugar + starch content unless a full hay analysis is performed. One estimation you can do is with protein and potassium levels, as they are generally higher in young shoots and lower in more mature grass. Oaten / Wheaten hay known for being the 'candy' of hays. It is high in sugar + starch and is NOT recommended as a safe feed insulin resistant/laminitic prone horses. Not just for metabolic reasons but also dental reasons is a disadvantage with high sugar oaten/wheaten hay, due to the hours spent grazing, horse’s are at risk of more frequent dental issues over time. Barley hay can also be classified as the 'candy' of hays. It is high in sugar + starch and is NOT recommended as a safe feed insulin resistant/laminitic prone horses. Not just for metabolic reasons but also dental reasons is a disadvantage, due to the hours spent grazing, horse’s are at risk of more frequent dental issues over time. Oaten & Barley Hay should be fed with discretion in relation to workload and overall body weight/condition. To lower the risk of triggering/developing metabolic issues, they should be treated as candy or mixed in with lower sugar + starch hay sources. The winner would be Rhodes Grass or Teff Hay, try to source this from a quality grower that harvest with no more than 15% seed heads. Because every hay harvest made has variable nutrient profiles due to growing conditions, a healthy fibre based vitamin and mineral balancer is recommended for optimum health, CEN CF50 is a great option plus it contains pre and probiotics for digestive health. The depletion of Omega 3 can be replaced with a quality plant based Omega 3 oil like CEN Oil which is a stabilised linseed oil + antioxidants which mirrors the Omega profile in pasture.

04.01.2022 Laminitis is the inflammation of the laminae tissue inside the hoof. It is the 2nd biggest killer to horses behind colic. It ...can affect one or all feet, but most often seen 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 can result: ( ) ( ) / : 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. The entire CEN Product range is healthy and safe for laminitic prone horses. They contain no/low sugar and starch levels <10%, anit-inflammatory properties and promote a healthy digestive system and hoof health. Any questions?

CEN Users Group - The Healthy Horse Movement In a recent study in Victoria, 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.

02.01.2022 ? Mycotoxins are toxins produced by moulds or fungi. Found most commonly in warm humid climates. They can be present in feed (grains), hay/...pasture and the environment (bedding). Some moulds and fungi produce one type of toxin whilst some can produce a number of different types. e.g Aflatoxins are produced by types of Aspergillus. ? Mycotoxin binders prevent the absorption of the mycotoxins in the horse’s gut. If mycotoxins are present in feed, hay or pasture they bind to them strongly and are excreted through the faeces. Yeast based toxin binders are effective for common mycotoxins and do not bind nutrients so can be fed alongside meals. Charcoal or clay products (bentonite) bind nutrients and should not be fed alongside meals. Avoid charcoal based products around worming time. It can be very hard to detect moulds producing the mycotoxins in feeds, forage and the environment. There are many signs of mycotoxin poisoning in horses and all can either progress slow or fast: Including: Weight loss Poor performance General poor health Reduced appetite Colic-like symptoms Gastro-intestinal disturbance Poor coat/skin condition Immune suppression Inability to regulate body temperature Irritable or uncharacteristic behaviour Muscle twitching or twitching of the facial features Gestation complications - premature or prolonged Liver damage Liver damage can be detected using blood tests in particular the test GGT (Gamma glutamyl transferase). It is an enzyme that can be elevated when the liver is damaged due to mycotoxin poisoning. Feed a yeast based toxin binder to help remove common mycotoxins present. The most prevalent in grain based feeds is aflatoxin. As there is no data at present on toxin binders covering all types, the next option is to remove any contaminated feed or forage if no improvement to symptoms is seen. One effective option for mycotoxin removal, immune and digestive health is CEN XtraBalance. CEN XtraBalance contains a broad spectrum yeast based toxin binder, live probiotics, prebiotics and organic humates. CEN XtraBalance contains effective prebiotics that block the attachment and development of harmful bacteria within the gut. This strengthens the horse’s natural immune response, thereby reducing risk of disease. Live yeast probiotics promote strong and healthy intestinal cells and maintains tight junctions in the gut lining. This helps prevent toxins and pathogens leaking into the bloodstream.

02.01.2022 SPRING IS HERE so its time to be more aware of mycotoxins. Mycotoxins are toxins that are found in certain grass and legume species, that are particularly prevalent in spring and autumn. Modified pasture varieties such as rye and clover are common varieties found in a lot of our pastures and can be responsible for behavioural, skin and condition changes in our horses.... If you have these varieties in your pasture and start to notice some uncharacteristic changes in your horse, consider for this time of year, a supplement which contains a toxin binder. CEN XtraBalance is a great choice to help eliminate mycotoxins, as well as improve digestion of feed and overall gut health.
