Do dried apples and lecithin prevent gastric ulcers in horses?

Dried apples and lecithin have not been shown to prevent gastric ulcers in horses. There is some research suggesting that dried apples may have some beneficial effects on the equine digestive system, such as reducing the risk of colic, but there is no evidence to support the use of dried apples or lecithin as a preventative measure against gastric ulcers. Gastric ulcers are a common problem in horses and can be caused by a variety of factors, including stress, diet, and certain medications. The best way to prevent gastric ulcers in horses is to provide them with a healthy diet and to minimize stress.
