Crib biting and equine gastric ulceration syndrome: Do horses that display oral stereotypies have altered gastric anatomy and physiology?

Equine gastric ulceration syndrome (EGUS) and crib biting (CB) are two separate conditions suffered by horses. Previous research has hypothesized causal relationships between these two conditions, whereby the behavior is driven by a requirement to stimulate saliva production to buffer gastric juice. However, to date, there is limited empirical evidence to support this notion. To […]
