🐎 Dealing with a diagnosis but not sure what comes next? Kentucky Equine Research breaks it down: MFM, which often shows as exercise intolerance or occasional tying-up, can’t be cured, but smart nutrition and exercise tweaks can make a real difference.

** Key Takeaways**
- Feed for rebuilding, not restriction: think quality protein (12–14%), balanced concentrates (20–30% NSC, moderate fat), and 1.5–2% body weight in good forage daily.
- Targeted supplements boost muscle repair: MFM Pellet for amino acids (like cysteine), and Nano-E and Nano-Q10 for antioxidant support.

Glandular gastric ulcers can be stubborn, but a smart, holistic plan can help. Instead of endless treat-and-scope cycles, Kentucky Equine Research recommends a logical step-by-step strategy: rule out other conditions; reduce stress with rest days; optimize omeprazole timing; and consider switching to sucralfate or misoprostol if needed. Bonus: anti-inflammatory omega-3s and alfalfa forage may support healing, too.

Treating equine glandular gastric disease (EGGD)is not as straightforward as treating squamous disease (ESGD).

Hyaluronic acid isn’t just for joints. It supports muscle recovery, too! 🏃‍♂️💪 Recent research shows that intravenous HA lowers baseline inflammation without disrupting the essential post-exercise inflammatory response needed for muscle repair. A smart edge for performance horses.
