Hailing originally from Australia, Dr. Tania Cubitt is one of Standlee’s resident nutrition experts, with both technical and practical life experience. She has a PhD in Equine Nutrition and Reproduction from Virginia Tech and raises black angus cattle, along with a few goats in Virginia.
From the western state of Idaho, Katy Starr works as a marketing consultant for Standlee Premium Western Forage, focusing on nutritional content. She has a bachelor’s degree in animal science and agribusiness from the University of Idaho, and partners with her husband in raising a small commercial cattle herd and their three girls.
On this episode, Dr. Cubitt and Katy breakdown structural and non-structural carbohydrates and discuss what carbohydrate sensitivity is as it relates to horses, metabolic diseases associated with carbohydrate sensitivity, equines more prone to these diseases, how to tell if your horse may have an issue with consuming too many sugars and starches and when to get your veterinarian involved.
