    Snippet: This study suggests that once daily hay feeding and increased exercise frequency are associated with an increased risk of gastric ulceration. The decreased risk of glandular ulceration observed in FEI-level horses is unexpected, but may suggest that glandular ulcers are associated with reduced performance. The intestinal microbiota is important for health and disease. Factors that disturb the equine intestinal microbiota are incompletely studied......
    Document: This study suggests that once daily hay feeding and increased exercise frequency are associated with an increased risk of gastric ulceration. The decreased risk of glandular ulceration observed in FEI-level horses is unexpected, but may suggest that glandular ulcers are associated with reduced performance. The intestinal microbiota is important for health and disease. Factors that disturb the equine intestinal microbiota are incompletely studied. The objective of this study was to determine effects of transportation, fasting and anesthesia on the fecal microbiota of healthy adult horses using next generation sequencing Fecal samples from eight horses at baseline, after transportation, after 12 hour of fasting and 24, 48 and 72 after 6 hours of anesthesia were studied. Next generation sequencing of the V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene followed and was used to assess the microbial composition. Alpha diversity, phylogenetic structures and beta diversity were assessed using MO-THUR.
