The more types of gut microbes a foal has at just 4 weeks old is directly related to its future health and its success on the racecourse, according to a study from researchers in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

\u201cEarly-life gut bacterial community structure predicts disease risk and athletic performance in horses bred for racing\u201d was\u00a0published August 7 in the online version of Scientific reports. Investigators analyzed early-life fecal bacterial community data from 52 Thoroughbred foals bred for racing along with comprehensive health and performance data from the first three years of life.<\/p>\n
