    Author: Ferrucci F, Zucca E, Croci C, Di Fabio V, Ferro E.
    Journal: Vet Rec; 2003 May 31; 152(22):679-81. PubMed ID: 12803394.
    Abstract:
    The severity of the erosive and ulcerative lesions of the squamous gastric mucosa in 10 standardbred racehorses in training was classified according to a standard scoring system. Each horse was then treated orally for 30 days with 50 g/100 kg bodyweight daily of a pectin-lecithin complex mixed into the feed. At the end of the period of treatment, the gastric lesions were re-evaluated gastroscopically and the scores were compared with those assigned at the previous evaluation. In three of the horses the gastric ulcerations had healed completely, and in six others the lesions had improved significantly.
