Jaguar Animal Health intends to begin clinical studies in 2016 of a North American plant derivative that’s used in traditional human medication in hopes of treating and managing equine insulin-resistance, which can lead to laminitis.
Horses are at increased risk for laminitis when grass begins to grow in the spring, providing abundant forage that is high in moisture and carbohydrates but low in fiber. Autumn is also a high-risk time for grazing horses for a somewhat different reason.
Fall, with its dry pastures and brown grass, is a season most people don’t associate with laminitis. But, what many owners don’t realize is that the autumn brings higher rates of the disease as well, particularly for horses that are already at risk.
A study of horses with equine metabolic syndrome showed that weight loss, managed by their owners at home, reduced insulin resistance and susceptibility to laminitis.
Scores of horses will gorge themselves on that long-awaited lush, green pasture of springtime. As many of us already know, overgrazing grasses and legumes that are high in water-soluble carbohydrates puts horses at risk for laminitis.
The value of a tailored diet and exercise program for horses and ponies prone to laminitis due to equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) has been shown in a British study.
