they wanted to see for themselves and test the theory that prevention in young horses was easier than treating arthritis in the adult. “We found that it tended to in-
crease new cartilage production and decrease the breakdown of ex- isting cartilage, which was good,” she said. Thirty milligrams of glucos-
amine per kilogram of body weight was given to the study horses. “We certainly got a positive response, which was what we wanted,” she said. Another component of Cover-
dale’s research has been studying conjugated linoleic acid, or CLA, which “is fairly similar to glucos- amine in that there are documented anti-infl ammatory effects, which may be used to remediate and repair cartilage in joints.” “Horses receiving supplemental
CLA tended to exhibit greater repair of their cartilage when injected with LPS, rather than break it down,” she said. “Two percent of the diet was given in the CLA and that can be economically feasible for horse owners.” The research group has also

evaluated horses at varying ages to determine the response to LPS based on age. They concluded that young horses were more likely to synthesize new cartilage in re- sponse to inflammation, while older horses were more likely to experience cartilage degradation or damage. “This further illustrates that
dietary intervention provided to young horses in training to prevent joint damage may yield the best results,” she said. “All four of these projects confi rmed that intervening during times of early growth and training with some of these dietary additives is worth it. Waiting on
