Thiamine for Horses

Horses require a wide variety of nutrients to maintain their health. One of the most important of these is known as thiamine, which is a B-1 vitamin. Not having enough of this vitamin can lead to a long list of health issues, but having the right amount can result in superior health and performance. Due to this, most horse trainers, breeders and owners have taken to supplementing their horse’s diet with this essential nutrient.

What Thiamine Does

Thiamine is primarily responsible for the metabolism of other nutrients a horse consumes. This means it enables the horse to get the most from their diet. Having the proper thiamine levels affects all functions of the body, from brain function to the health of its organs.

How Vitamin B-1 Works in Horses

Three important enzymes in the horse’s body require vitamin B-1 for optimal functioning: pyruvate dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase and transketolase. These enzymes are important for protein, carbohydrate and fat metabolism in the body.

Pyruvate and dehydrogenase are essential for converting glucose into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the energy every cell in your horse’s body requires to perform important functions such as eating, digestion, breathing and circulating blood, among others.

Transketolase is needed for the pentose phosphate pathway. This supplies the cells with a specific sugar required to produce nucleic acids, which make up the DNA of horses.

Thiamine Deficiency in Horses

If a horse has a vitamin B-1 deficiency, there are several signs you may notice at various degrees, depending on the level of deficiency. Some of these include:

  • Anorexia
  • Loss of appetite
  • Fatigue
  • Loss of developed skills
  • Unexplained illness

Reasons for Vitamin B-1 Deficiency

The primary cause for thiamine deficiency in horses is simply they are not getting enough of it in their diet. This can be due to low-quality feed that has not been stored properly. Unfortunately, this is a common problem that’s not easily determined.

Fortunately, simply adding a thiamine supplement for horses to their diet can ensure your equine receives the proper nutrition. Additionally, because it’s water-soluble, there’s no risk of consuming too much.

Another cause for vitamin B-1 deficiency is the consumption of bracken. Bracken destroys thiamine’s ability to perform as it should when metabolized. The only way to prevent this is to ensure your horse has absolutely no chance of consuming bracken.
