As our clients know, bio security has always been high on our agenda as a responsible horse transporter, and we are dedicated to keeping our vehicles clean to help prevent the spread of infectious disease. However unfamiliar horses arriving on new yards are a common source of infectious disease outbreaks and not all infected horses look unwell! It is important to be aware of the risks and manage them accordingly.

As part of there is a free webinar for yard owners available on Wednesday, the content will help you prevent infectious disease outbreaks on your yard, and provide some insight on how to manage the situation should it occur. Register below ⬇️ to help and prevent the spread of equine disease

RATE OF INTAKE MATTERS!!

For ID-affected horses and ponies and those prone to laminitis/with EMS, the issue with grass isn't just its nutrient content, but also how palatable and quickly-eaten it can be!

Ponies can eat half their daily calorie requirements from grass in just 3 hours.

Both total calorie and NSC intake and the rate of NSC intake matters.

It's the amount of NSC that is eaten per given amount of time that impacts insulin response.

On a side note, grazing muzzles reduce total intake but also slow the rate of intake, which is key for ID horses and ponies.

Slowing down rate of intake with the type of forage (very short grass, late cut fibrous hay that takes more chewing), grazing muzzles, and slow feeders will all have a beneficial effect not just on extending eating time but also on insulin response and level.
