Eller, Elena Maria (Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)Blood-borne biochemical markers were used to track comparative rates of bone turnover in horses fed differing amounts of Ca, P and Mg. Bone turnover was tracked by serum osteocalcin, bone resorption by the carboxyterminal ...
-
Spooner, Holly Sue (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Studies in other species indicate high protein diets increase urinary calcium (Ca) excretion and may lead to negative calcium balance and reduced bone density. As overfeeding of protein is commonplace in the horse ...

Topliff, Donald Ra (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)Two longitudinally designed experiments to study the influence of diet and exercise manipulation on muscle glycogen and performance of aerobic work on a treadmill and anaerobic work pulling a weighted sled were conducted ...
-
Scott, Brett David (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)Trial I. Twelve mature Thoroughbred horses were used to evaluate the efficacy of a fat-supplemented diet to maintain muscle glycogen stores and reduce thermal stress in exercising horses. In this study, exercising Thoroughbred ...
