Furthermore, recent information suggests that feeding a diet that contains 0.5 kg of grain per 100 kg bwt no more frequently than 6 h apart can reduce the risk of EGUS (Andrews et al. 2006).

It has been suggested that a high-grain, low-hay diet would increase the incidence of ulcers (Hammond et al. 1986).

In another study, alfalfa hay was shown to protect horses against EGUS, by increasing stomach pH. Gastric juice pH and ulcer scores were lower in horses fed a diet containing alfalfa hay compared to the same horses fed dietary brome or costal Bermuda hay (Nadeau et al. 2000; Lybbert et al. 2007). The authors concluded that alfalfa hay may be useful in addition to antiulcer treatment for prevention and treatment of squamous gastric ulcers.(Nadeau 2009)
