Insulin dysregulation (ID), a condition with excessive hyperinsulinemia, is the most common cause of laminitis in the horse. Insulin dysregulation is a core component of equine metabolic syndrome. Management strategies for ID include feeding diets low in non-structural carbohydrates, but excessive hyperinsulinemia is difficult to manage. There is thus a need for pharmacological treatment of ID. Canagliflozin, a new drug available in humans for treatment of type 2 diabetes, offers a novel therapeutic option for treating excessive hyperinsulinemia in the horse by inhibiting renal glucose reabsorption leading to urinary excretion of glucose. The overall aim of the present study is to investigate if a 4-week period of daily treatment with different doses of canagliflozin attenuates the hyperinsulinemic response to oral carbohydrates in insulin dysregulated horses to a level that would prevent insulin induced laminitis. In addition, any side effects during treatment will be documented.
Kraftig hyperinsulinemi är den vanligaste orsaken till fång hos häst. Hyperinsulinemi och ökad risk för fång utgör de två viktigaste kännetecknen för ekvint metabolt syndrom. Ekvint metabolt syndrom behandlas genom att utfodra med grovfoder, som innehåller låg andel lättlösliga kolhydrater, men denna åtgärd är inte tillräcklig i de fall hästarna har kraftigt utvecklad hyperinsulinemi. I dagsläget finns ingen effektiv medicinsk behandling tillgänglig. Kanagliflozin, ett nytt läkemedel för behandling av typ 2 diabetes hos människa, verkar genom att hämma resorptionen av glukos i njuren, vilket leder till förluster av glukos via urinen. Syftet med studien är att undersöka om 4 veckors daglig behandling med kanagliflozin i olika doseringar minskar insulinresponsen under den postprandiella fasen i sådan grad att risken för fång elimineras. Dessutom undersöks om behandlingen ger upphov till några biverkningar.

About 200 dairy farms in Sweden use recycled manure solids (RMS) as bedding material and the number is increasing. Advantages is low price, reliable availability and good cow comfort. The main disadvantage is the risk of increased bacterial growth on the lying area affecting especially udder health …

Every year, about 500,000 claw trimmings are recorded in Swedish dairy cattle. The aim of claw trimming is to detect, treat and prevent painful claw lesions. However, the claw trimming in itself can be harmful and cause claw lesions if it is not done correctly. The aim of the project is to develop …
