Abstract
A method for treating laminitis in equine livestock with tylosin which comprises dosing the equine or delivering to the lower alimentary canal a pharmaceutically effective quantity of an agent comprising tylosin. The method may be used for treating equine livestock which are subjected to a high carbohydrate diet by controlling lactic acid concentration in the hind gut. The agent acts to improve efficiency of feed utilization in the equine by increasing the production of propionate during fermentative digestion in the hind gut and allows feeding to the equine diets containing high levels of a readily fermentable carbohydrate.
