D-xylose or D-glucose absorption tests can be used to assess the absorptive capacity of the small intestine to absorb carbohydrates. D-glucose is more widely available than d-xylose and so the oral glucose tolerance test is more commonly utilised in practice. To see how to perform these tests click [[D-Glucose and D-Xylose Absorption Tests in Horses|here]].
