You have not fixed the original problem, so it will not get better. In cases where more energy is needed than forages alone can provide, high-fat products and fermentable fibers should be included in the ration. Most horse owners feeding traditional programs are very concerned about these digestive disorders.

Dust undermines promising careers and compromises true athletic potential.
Respiratory tract infections are practically unavoidable with competing athletes and highly prevalent in performance horses. Poor air hygiene has been identified as the causative factor of respiratory disease. Many horses lacking clinical signs of pulmonary disease are experiencing performance problems. As a result, health and achieving peak performance are the driving forces behind preventative techniques for fugitive dust emissions. Dust not only worsens air quality, which impairs lung function and exacerbates lung and heart diseases, but also transmits infectious illnesses by carrying pathogenic bacteria and viruses into the respiratory system.
