Summary
Normal gastrointestinal (GI) motility patterns are necessary
to maintain transit of ingesta and to facilitate digestion and
absorption of nutrients. Disorders of the equine GI tract are
frequently encountered by the equine practitioner and
these disorders are often associated with an interruption
in normal intestinal motility patterns, thus complicating
treatment of the primary disease. Consequently, numerous
treatments have been investigated in horses to facilitate
the return of normal intestinal motility. The purpose of this
article is to provide a brief review of the anatomy and
physiology of the GI tract in the horse and review
medications available to the equine veterinarian that may
potentially promote intestinal motility.
