We conducted this study with Dr Chris Proudman of the University of Surrey Veterinary School, to investigate the effect of EquiNectar on the metabolome and microbiome of racehorses. We discovered that EquiNectar had significant impacts.
This study introduces the first application of Selected Ion Flow Tube Mass Spectrometry (SIFT-MS) to analyse volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in faecal headspace from horses with and without colic. The research compared horses suffering from acute intestinal disease affecting the large colon with a control group admitted for non-gastrointestinal conditions at an equine hospital.
Our co-founder, Professor John Hunter, wrote this paper for the Equine Veterinary Journal to discuss Irritable Bowel Syndrome in horses. Following this paper, EquiNectar was developed.
