LETS TALK ABOUT ULCERS AND ALFALFA!!!!

Thought this was neat and worth sharing🤔

Alfalfa and horses with ulcers
Research from Texas A&M University shows that feeding alfalfa to horses with the potential to be high performers either prevents or is therapeutic in treating stomach ulcers.

Something in alfalfa hay tends to buffer acid production, said Dr. Pete Gibbs, Extension horse specialist. Feeding grain, confinement, exercise and overall environmental stress factors are thought to cause ulcers, he said. Studies have shown that horses will heal if provided less acidic diets.

In the research, 24 quarter horses from 12-16 months old were separated into two treatment groups. One group was fed Bermuda grass hay and the other fed alfalfa hay to meet the daily roughage needs. The yearlings received forced exercise during the study. The horses were examined internally with an endoscope at the beginning and end of two 28-day trials.

It's commonly thought that horses turned out on pastures are better off than those that are confined. However, if grass hay is the only hay they are fed, horses can still get gastric ulcers, he said.

In this study, ulcer scores increased when alfalfa was removed from the horses diets, and they were turned out on pasture. Under the ulcer-scoring system, 0 signified no ulcers, with severity increasing to level 4.

Further work is needed to look at horses with varying degrees of ulceration to better determine the full extent to which alfalfa or alfalfa-based products might help from a feeding management standpoint.

Based on what we know right now, for horses that are kept in confinement, eating feed and getting forced exercise, it makes sense to consider some alfalfa as part of their diet, he said.

Until further research is done, he recommends, horses weighing between 1,000-1,300 pounds should be fed about 1 pound of alfalfa after a grain meal.

CHECK THIS OUT!!!!!
I cannot recommend this virtual webinar enough!
There are 9 speakers from around the world discussing their points of view on the complicated equine digestive system.

There is a video dissection, a presentation about the microbiome, the guts link to emotions and even worm burden issues...to name just a few.

It is hosted by The Worldwide Alliance of Equine Osteopaths (WAEO) but it is open to EVERYONE.
(WAEO is a non profit organisation set up to help share knowledge worldwide)

Now is the time to buy your Early Bird tickets. Use the link below to head to the website and book.

It is a 100% pre-recorded virtual webinar that you can access via our website and watch at your pleasure.
It will be available from 20th August 2022.

Hamstring Hypertonicity and Tarsal (Hock) Pathology 🌟

I often talk about the “spiral of dysfunction”, an ever progressing degenerative down turn in musculoskeletal health. So I thought I would share one of the most common spirals I see.

- Hock arthritis = pain and joint inflammation in acute stages, progresses to structural joint adaptations as the condition progresses.
=> reduced hock joint range of motion.
=> rotation of hock joint inwards during movement
=> external rotation of stifle joint in synergistic response to hock motion
=> hip drop on flex/ext depending on pathology => sacroiliac joint strain and gluteal tension
=> use of hamstring muscle group and other medially placed hindlimb muscles to facilitate this gait pattern
=> medial (inside) weight placement through the hoof = uneven wear of shoe and asymmetrical hoof conformation
=> hamstring muscle hypertonicity and pain on palpation due to overexertion/repetitive strain outside of functional means.
= reduced hindlimb joint range of motion due to restrictions in muscle tone and pliability.

It is super important to identify the cause of asymmetry/lameness in order to prevent this cycle of dysfunction from occurring.

**EQUINE LATERALITY AND ITS EFFECT ON EQUINE HEALTH AND PERFORMANCE: A BIOMECHANICAL PERSPECTIVE**

SATURDAY 11 JUNE 2022 @ 14:00 HRS BST

Dr. RUSSELL MACKECHNIE-GUIRE

🤔Do horses turn one way easier than the other?

🤔When grazing, do horses have a preference to systematically protract one forelimb limb in advance of the other?

What effect does this have on the locomotor system? Over the past decade, quantifying and understanding laterality has become the focus on many research groups. This 2-hour session will discuss laterality and its effect on equine health and performance. This course will present findings from laterality-based studies with special attention being given to how laterality can influence the locomotor apparatus of the horse.

🐎Locomotor control
🐎Locomotor asymmetry or lameness?
🐎Functional asymmetry
🐎Factors which may cause asymmetry
🐎Equine sidedness & body asymmetry
🐎Effects that functional & locomotor asymmetry may have on ridden performance

How does PEMF Therapy work?
Many clinical trials have demonstrated that PEMF works by Stimulating cells electrically, magnetically, chemically and physically.
How PEMF Therapy affects the body?
PEMF Therapy increases cellular membrane permeability by mechanically contracting the cells and by stimulating the opening of ion channels through the cell membrane.
This allows better circulation of oxygen and nutrients into the cellos, and carbon dioxide and waste products out of the cells.
PEMF Therapy also improves cell metabolism by stimulating the opening of ion channels in the cell membrane.
PEMF Therapy reduces swelling, relaxes muscles, decreases nerve irritability, stimulates tissue healing, strengthens bones, and promotes fracture healing.
PEMF Therapy reduces pain and inflammation as well as it promotes nerve regeneration, muscle relaxation and immune system response.

Cellular Effects of PEMF
• Improves intercellular fluid & blood flow
• Stimulates the production of ATP
• Increases Cellular Energy Levels
• Increases Cellular Oxygen Levels
• Promotes Cellular Healing
• Stimulates inter cellular communication
• Stimulates electron transport in cells

Biological Effects of PEMF
• Significant Pain Relief
• Accelerates Tissue Repair
• Accelerates Cell Growth
• Promotes Faster Healing of Injuries
• Reduces Fibrous Tissue Formation
• Reduces Swelling and Inflammation
• Stimulates the Release of Endorphins

Update of hoof wound. Photos from 17th to 21st of April.

17/04/2022

What was thought to be an abscess to begin with turned out to be a foreign body, which was removed at CSU on Monday the 11th of April. Since the operation the body and wound have been pulses 4 times for 30 minutes in the 6 days since the operation. We're very pleased we have the PEMF machine the healing and pain relief is amazing.

PEMF and Gastric Ulcers in horses.
Unfortunately, ulcers are common in horses. Although they mostly affect performance horses (from racing to competition), ulcers can affect horses of any age and lifestyle.
Ulcers can be very painful and have serious negative impacts on our equine friends.
This is a great article on PEMF as a modality to treat ulcers.

Helen Thornton EST & PEMF helps Gastric Ulcers in Horses naturally with PEMF Gastric ulcers are commonly found in horses. A third of adult horses confined in stalls and over 60% of performance horses develop moderate to severe gastric ulcers. With gastric ulcers being such a common occurrence,
