Abstract
Polysaccharide storage myopathy is characterised as the dissolution of skeletal muscle in association with exercise. Genetic testing has uncovered two forms of polysaccharide storage myopathy: PSSM1 and PSSM2, and a subtype known as myofibrillar myopathy. Horses with these conditions can display a variety of symptoms. Nutritional management of PSSM1 and PSSM2 cases hinges on ensuring that rations are low in both starch and sugar, and daily exercise is also important for these horses.
