Risk Factors for Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome Incidence in Adult Icelandic Riding Horses Open
A high prevalence of both squamous (ESGD) and glandular (EGGD) ulcers was previously found in, mainly young, Icelandic horses coming into training for the first time. This study evaluated risk factors for gastric ulcers in Icelandic riding…

Free Faecal Water: Analysis of Horse Faecal Microbiota and the Impact of Faecal Microbial Transplantation on Symptom Severity Open
Free faecal water (FFW) in equines results in pollution of the hindquarters and tail and can also involve clinical signs. Though the cause of FFW is unknown, it was hypothesized that it may involve the gut microbiota. This hypothesis was a…

Straw as an Alternative to Grass Forage in Horses—Effects on Post-Prandial Metabolic Profile, Energy Intake, Behaviour and Gastric Ulceration Open
Straw’s low energy content means it is a roughage option for horses with low energy requirements. Previously, in a field study, straw was associated with an increased risk for gastric ulcers. This study evaluated the effect on gastric ulce…

Free faecal water: What do we know and can equine faecal microbiota transplantation be used to manage this issue? Open
Free Faecal Water (FFW) is a condition recognised in horses. Horses with this condition defaecate normal faeces but before, after, or during defaecation (or sometimes even independently of defaecation) faecal water runs out of the anus (Ki…

The term Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS)
\nwas first used in 1999 to describe gastric ulceration
\nin the horse.1 However, as discussed by Merritt,2 the
\nterminology is commonly misused. The committee reinforces
