Headshaking in horses is often considered to be related to dysfunction of the _____
Trigeminal nerve.
Headshaking in horses is often considered to be related to dysfunction of the trigeminal nerve. The trigeminal nerve is responsible for carrying sensory information from the face to the brain. Dysfunction of this nerve can lead to abnormal facial sensations, which may cause the horse to shake its head. Other nerves listed, such as the phrenic nerve, vagus nerve, optic nerve, and olfactory nerve, are not directly involved in facial sensations and therefore are less likely to be related to headshaking.

Squamous gastric ulcers
Omeprazole is most effective for treating squamous gastric ulcers in horses. Squamous gastric ulcers are a common type of ulcer that occurs in the upper portion of the horse's stomach. Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that helps reduce the production of stomach acid, which can help alleviate the symptoms and promote healing of the ulcers. It is specifically targeted towards treating squamous gastric ulcers rather than other types of gastric ulcers.

Which of the following have the best evidence for stimulating muscle development in horses when combined with appropriate exercise, sufficient energy intake and adequate protein?
Leucine
Leucine has the best evidence for stimulating muscle development in horses when combined with appropriate exercise, sufficient energy intake, and adequate protein. Leucine is an essential amino acid that plays a crucial role in muscle protein synthesis. It activates the mTOR pathway, which is responsible for promoting muscle growth and repair. Studies have shown that leucine supplementation can enhance muscle protein synthesis and improve muscle mass and strength in horses. Therefore, when all the necessary factors are present, leucine is the most effective in stimulating muscle development in horses.
