Rounds with Doc T – August 31st, 2023 [[Replay]]
00:00:20 – QUESTION 1 –
How do I download the book from the website?
00:07:15 – QUESTION 2 –
My vet told me to supplement with selenium (Se), which I did. Now that the Se levels are normal (retested), do I need to continue if the microbiome is correct? This discussion continues with a comment from another member at 00:19:52 about white muscle disease in wild animals called “capture myopathy.”
00:29:20 – Discussion of information overload –
I continued the Se discussion by discussing the basics of nutrition in horses. This time, I expand from six to seven (polyphenols), the nutrients entering the mouth.
00:35:34 – Testing the blood sugar of horses –
The relationship between blood sugar, insulin resistance, and blood cortisol, the stress hormone, is discussed. The key is diet and exercise, plus the control of stress.
00:49:08 – The blood-brain barrier and inflammation –
Sharing the results of removing inflammatory ingredients on horse behavior starts a new discussion. I discuss how inflammation of the blood-brain barrier causes bad behavior.
00:56:10 – Feeding horses requires constant adjustments –
Some horse owners adjust the feeding program incorrectly because they need help understanding the feeding principles. Also discussed is the use of hay with pasture and the new hydroponically grown forage.
01:06:10 – Testimony about fly allergy –
A member discusses how the diet has improved the horse’s fly allergy.
01:07:51 – What about pasture and fat horses on soybean meal?
How to control forage intake in fat horses is covered here, including the myth that horses need forage in front of them 24/7.
01:20:38 – Methionine and hoof health –
I quickly discuss the importance of double bonds in the hoof protein for the strength of hooves and the prevention of laminitis.
