🐎 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.
