Do horses that are dosed with this rich
protein/carb mixture have a problem with loose stools/diarrhea? Sure seems
like they would - whether or not they were lactose intolerant.
I'm curious as to your
thoughts and/or any scientific information on utilizing BCAa (Branched Chain
Amino Acids) on equine athletes, be they racehorses, endurance horses,
etc.
Thanks, Sandy
Definitely useful for post-ex recovery dosing. Nowhere near
as important as carbs, though. Some possible benefits as a pre-race, but
fairly low-grade benefits. A good protein with balanced amino acids is useful
in the daily ration. The best being whey protein. Some horses, like some
people, are lactose intolerant, though, and the preventative approach would
include lactanase in the mix. Dr. eleanor Kellon ( Drkellon@xxxxxxx) would be
a good advisor in that arena.
