Low Protein Diets for Equine Metabolic Syndrome: Yes or No?

There is concern that horses with Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) might need to be on a low protein diet. This thought is based on research out of the University of Kentucky, which showed that EMS horses when fed diets high in protein experienced large abnormal insulin spikes. Just one of the detrimental factors of horses with EMS. However, as interesting as it was the study may not have demonstrated what we typically feed horses in a day. Thus, in this weeks podcast we discuss this study and then the follow on research, also from the University of Kentucky, that investigated this phenomena further. Another interesting topic for any horse enthusiast.  You can learn more about these topics by visiting our expertise page HERE If you have any questions or concerns about your own horse, please contact us HERE This podcast was brought to you by Tribute Superior Equine Nutrition
