Stomach ulcers in horses
Stomach ulcers are common in horses. Did you know:
- Approximately 91% of racehorses get stomach ulcers, regardless of age.
- Approximately 52% of other performance horses have ulcers.
- Approximately 57% of foals have stomach ulcers, particularly during the first several months of life.
- Approximately 50% of horses with ulcers show no outward signs of gastrointestinal disease.
A good way of minimising the risk of ulcers in stabled horses is to feed plenty of good quality meadow hay.
Constant chewing and swallowing and the slow filter of roughage through the stomach and intestines helps to neutralise acids and maintain a healthy gut.
