In order to check the gastric squamous epithelium of non-athlete horses, 37 castrated male horses were submitted to video endoscopy (gastroscopy). All animals were from the same rural property, where the horses were fed only with grass (grazing), without parasitological control, vaccination or even mineral supplementation or any form of hay. We therefore concluded, based on the findings of the gastric endoscopies, that grazing as a form of feeding for horses is extremely important, not only for general health but also for the integrity of the equine stomach mucosa.
