Do you have any recommendations on an equine nutritionist? My vet recommends a purina nutritionist. But I'm assuming they are just going to recommend all Purina products.

Very very new to this, so I want to do things the right way but don't have all the knowledge. Folks on-line. You are logged in as a guest. Logon or register an account to access more features.

Environmental factors include chilling, fasting, transport, stressful events, such as weaning or surgery, and a change in diet.

Beginning a new training regimen, or even the cessation of training, can also bring it on. Linebreeding of the Impressive bloodline is common, but does not increase the risk of the mutation due to saturation.

The increased risk is due to there being more individuals of Impressive genetics breeding in the pedigree, thus increasing the odds of an occurrence for the mutation in one of those lines. No dilution of bloodlines will remove the risk of HYPP.

It carries through the genetic pool as a dominant trait, for example, a horse that is within seven generations from Impressive is just as likely to carry the gene as one that is within two generations of him.

Breeding decisions for the horse carrying the gene are critical in order to lessen the chance of producing a foal that is positive for the gene. Four possibilities exist when breeding. Management of the HYPP positive horse is carried out through dietary changes and medication. Limiting potassium in the diet, not to exceed 1 percent, is recommended.

Different activity levels make potassium requirements vary. Sedentary horses require very little potassium, while very active horses require much more.

An equine nutritionist can formulate a plan for a horse with HYPP, thus simplifying the management of the individual.

Horse diets are constituted primarily of forage, whether that be pasture, hay, or hay cubes. Horses with HYPP have those forage choices reduced dramatically.

Legumes, such as alfalfa, are very high in potassium, so they should be used minimally or not at all. Clover is also a legume and needs to be limited. Low potassium feed, whether on pasture or hand fed, should be basis for the diet of an HYPP horse. Testing of all forage is the only way to be certain of potassium levels.
