Equine asthma is similar to human asthma based on several factors associated with this lung disorder in horses. It has had several names, including heaves, COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and others.

In the past, veterinarians blame allergens for triggering the airways of horses to constrict, making it almost impossible to exhale. As a result, horses can no longer breathe effectively. This restriction to exhale air limits the horse's ability to function in any sport or effort. It can, in the worst of situations, cause their death. But could there be another cause? For example, could this be associated with chronic inflammation?

Geoff Tucker, DVM (Doc T), explains what is known based on a recent webinar he attended on Equine Asthma.

Calcium (Ca) and Phosphorus (P) are two of the most plentiful minerals in your horse, required for bone structure, muscle function and hundreds of other metabolic processes. However, they compete for uptake in the digestive tract.

When there is more phosphorus than calcium in the diet, calcium prevents phosphorus from being absorbed. Hence, the body extracts calcium from the bones to maintain its precise and critical level in the blood. Unfortunately, all grains are high in phosphorus and, when fed over time, cause calcium deficiencies.

Feed manufacturers add calcium and phosphorus in a ratio. This addition to all feeds makes the amount of Ca greater than P. But in doing so, they prevent the absorption of Magnesium (Mg), leading to low Mg blood levels resulting in hyperexcitability in horses. So it is NOT just the excess sugar or the lectins of grains that lead to horses being difficult or having bad behavior. The solution to behavioral issues in horses is to start by REMOVING GRAIN FROM THEIR DIET.
