Gastric ulceration is a clinical syndrome that is commonly observed in foals and horses. This medical condition can be caused by a number of factors and is referred to as "Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome" (EGUS).
4. Causes of Gastric Ulceration in Foals
and Horses
A horse's stomach produces approximately 1.5 litres
of acidic fluid per hour. This acid is said to be
neutralized by the alkalinity of a horse's saliva.
However, saliva is only produced when the horse eats
If the horse does not eat for long periods, the acid
accumulates in the stomach and irritates the lining of
the stomach, causing ulcers.
5. Also if the horse is made to exercise or train on an empty
stomach, he is very likely to develop stomach ulcers.
Improper and irregular feeding routine
Long distance travels may sometimes be stressful for
horses
Stress due to competitions may be another cause for
gastric ulcers
Excessive drugs may cause the acid levels to shoot up
giving rise to ulcers
