It is important to remember that 95% of laminitis in the UK is metabolic in origin and whilst caused by long term diet resulting in metabolically alive fat cells, it is not caused by the short term intake of fructans which are fermented short chain fatty acids before being absorbed in the small intestine of the horse. Horses need to eat less calories from all types of feed not just grass, but equally important is to ensure that their dry matter intake is maintained.
