Causes of Gastric Ulceration in Foals and Horses

A horse's stomach produces approximately 1.5 litres of acidic fluid per hour. This acid is said to be neutralized by the alkalinity of a horse's saliva. However, saliva is only produced when the horse eats.

If the horse does not eat for long periods, the acid accumulates in the stomach and irritates the lining of the stomach, causing ulcers.

Also if the horse is made to exercise or train on an empty stomach, he is very likely to develop stomach ulcers.

Improper and irregular feeding routine

Long distance travels may sometimes be stressful for horses

Stress due to competitions may be another cause for gastric ulcers

Excessive drugs may cause the acid levels to shoot up giving rise to ulcers
