Cube colic

D H Irwin, D W Howell

    Journal of the South African Veterinary Association

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Not all horses are susceptible to "cube colic," and colic in horses fed cubes may not be caused by the cubes themselves. Further investigation into equine bowel disorder nomenclature is warranted.

    Area of Science:

    • Equine medicine
    • Veterinary science
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Colic is a common and serious condition in horses.
    • Equine diets, including cubed feeds, are often implicated in colic cases.
    • The specific etiology of

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the causal relationship between feeding cubed feeds and the occurrence of colic in horses.
    • To determine the susceptibility of horses to experimentally induced "cube colic."
    • To discuss the nomenclature of equine bowel disorders.

    Main Methods:

    • Experimental attempts to induce colic by feeding cubes were conducted.
    • Observations were made on horses fed cube diets.
    • Literature review on equine bowel disorder terminology was performed.

    Main Results:

    • Experimental induction of "cube colic" was unsuccessful in all tested horses.
    • It was concluded that not all horses are susceptible to colic when fed cubes.
    • Colic occurring in horses fed cubes is not definitively caused by the cubes.

    Conclusions:

    • The susceptibility to "cube colic" varies among individual horses.
    • The presence of colic in horses consuming cubes does not automatically attribute causation to the feed.
    • Standardization of nomenclature for equine gastrointestinal disorders is beneficial.
