Horses

Horses are large hindgut fermenters prone to colic and laminitis; sudden sugar/starch loads and certain fruits with pits pose serious risks.

Profil toxicologique

Hindgut Acidosis & Laminitis

Sudden sugar or starch overloads ferment in the cecum, producing lactic acid that kills beneficial bacteria, releases endotoxins, and triggers systemic inflammation. This can progress to acute laminitis — painful rotation of the coffin bone — within hours.

Cyanogenic Pit Toxicity

Stone-fruit pits (peach, plum, cherry, apricot) contain amygdalin, which gut bacteria convert to hydrogen cyanide. A single pit can release enough cyanide to cause rapid respiratory failure in a horse.

Fructan Sensitivity

Cool-season grasses accumulate fructans (fructose polymers) after cold nights or drought stress. Horses with a history of laminitis can experience acute episodes within hours of grazing on high-fructan pasture.
