Bighead, calcium deficiency and osteoporosis are significant problems for horses on sub-tropical grasses - including buffel, panic, kikuyu and setaria.
Oxalates in these grasses bind calcium - making it unavailable to the horse and increasing the risk of a dietary calcium deficiency. Clinical signs of calcium deficiency, osteoporosis and nutritional secondary hyperparathyroidism include intermittent lameness, stiffness, shortened stride, tendon and ligament weakness, dental problems, weight loss and fractures.

BIGHEAD & OSTEOPOROSIS IN HORSES

The condition 'bighead' was first diagnosed in Australian horses grazing subtropical pastures in 1974. Since then it has been widely recognised in horses grazing buffel, pangola, setaria, kikuyu, green panic, guinea and signal grass. These tropical grasses, planted along the seaboards of Australia, contain oxalate - a chemical that significantly interferes with mineral utilisation by horses.

Known since ancient times, and described as 'animal osteomalacia' by Vegetius in 400AD, bighead occurs in dogs, monkeys, cats, horses, rats, rabbits, pigs and goats - but it is principally a disease of horses. Also known as nutritional secondary hyperparathyroidism (NSH) or osteodystrophia fibrosa (OF), bighead was prevalent in the early 1900's in horses fed large amounts of bran by-product, especially mill wheat, hence the name 'bran-disease' and 'millers disease' were used to describe the condition.
