[RC] Safer Grass/ Animal Health News - Steve Elliott (EQUINE PERFORMANCE)My Dear Friend i meet at a thermography class Dr. Don Wash DVM President of Animal Health Foundation, in Pacific MO. has guest speakers on Laminitis at the November 15th Purina Mills Research Center.such people as Dr. Chris Pollit Dr. Philip Johnson Kathryn Watts BS. and Dr don Walsh DVM are all part of the studies. Seems there has been considerable interest associated with high levels of Carbohydrates ( sugars and starch) in Equine Diets. Illnesses of concern include laminitis and EPSM and equine Metabolic syndrome. Theres studies of seeing if Soaking the Hay before feeding it will lower the carbohydrate starch level, which might help prevent reoccurrence in chronic laminitis cases ,also with Pasture grasses "Pasture Grazing-what you need to know to keep your horse on all fours" sites to view of interest are www.safergrass.org www.animalhealthfoundation.com Steve Elliott `Las Usa/ Equine Performance =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= http://www.endurance.net/ads/seabiscuit.html Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
