Lipase

Triacylglycerol-Lipase

Mechanism

Lipasen hydrolysieren Triglyceride zu freien Fettsaeuren und Mono-/Diglyceriden und foerdern so Mizellenbildung und intestinale Fettabsorption. In der Gefluegelfuetterung - vor allem bei jungen Tieren mit begrenzter eigener Lipase- und Gallensekretion - koennen exogene Lipasen und Emulgatoren die Fettverdaulichkeit in energiereduzierten Rationen verbessern (Oketch et al. 2023, J Anim Physiol Anim Nutr, DOI 10.1111/jpn.13859; Uebersicht PMC6184034). Fuer das Pferd fehlen kontrollierte Daten voellig. Das adulte Pferd verfuegt ueber ausreichende pankreatische Lipase und vertraegt zugesetzte pflanzliche Oele bei langsamer Gewoehnung sehr gut; ein Nutzen exogener Lipase ist nicht belegt. Standard bei Fettergaenzung ist die schrittweise Anfuetterung von Oel, nicht die Enzymgabe.

Cautions

· Keine Pferdedaten - Nutzen unbelegt
· Oele stets langsam anfuettern (Kotwasser/Verdauung)
· Zusatzstoff-Deklaration (VO 1831/2003) beachten

How the Equiterna Score is built

The Equiterna Score combines three dimensions into a value of 0-100: science (40%), practical experience (30%) and safety (30%). It is transparently derived from evidence level, attributed sources (PubMed/journals), legal classification and cautions. The FEI doping status is shown separately as a competition-law note and does not enter the score. Commissions and vendor relationships have no influence on the score. In addition, the editorial safety rating caps the result: it limits the safety dimension and the overall tier (orange: at most solid). For entries rated red, no score is calculated at all. The rating never raises anything — a green rating does not lift a calculated value.

An editorial assessment of the evidence and safety situation — not a healing claim and not an individual recommendation. It does not replace veterinary advice.

DosageKeine etablierte Pferde-Dosis. Bei Oel-Fuetterung ist die langsame Steigerung (z.B. Start ~15-30 ml/Tag, Anpassung ueber Wochen) die belegte Massnahme - nicht die Lipasezulage.
