Water intake, faecal output and intestinal motility in horses moved from pasture to a stabled management regime with controlled exercise (2014)
Journal Article
Williams, S., Horner, J., Orton, E., Green, M. J., McMullen, S., Mobasheri, A., & Freeman, S. (2014). Water intake, faecal output and intestinal motility in horses moved from pasture to a stabled management regime with controlled exercise. Equine Veterinary Journal, 47(1), https://doi.org/10.1111/evj.12238

Reasons for performing study: A change in management from pasture to stabling is a risk factor for equine colic. Objectives: To investigate the effect of a management change from pasture with no controlled exercise to stabling with light exercise...
