What happens when my horse eats?

Did you know that every meal causes a series of reactions in the body?
The best known process is that of digestion and the process of absorption of nutrients.

Much less known is postprandial inflammation.
Postprandial inflammation is a mild inflammatory reaction in the intestines.
You may be shocked by this but this is a very normal process.
However, it is important to pay attention to the degree of inflammation.
The degree of inflammation determines the functioning of the intestines and how energy can be extracted from food.
Is there not proper regulation?
Then this can lead to muscle catabolism and a lack of appetite.
