Increased body fat content in horses alters metabolic and physiological exercise response, decreases performance, and increases locomotion asymmetry

Increased body fat content in horses alters metabolic and physiological exercise response, decreases performance, and increases locomotion asymmetry

ABSTRACT This study examined the effect of altered body weight (BW) and body fat content on exercise performance and recovery. Nine horses were divided into two groups, and changes in BW and fat content were induced by feeding a high (HA) or restricted (RA) energy allowance for 36 days in a cross‐ov...
