n this work we report observations carried out in a standardbred trotter stable, where we registered a high incidence rate of myoglobinuria. The horses showed, after few minutes of training, stiffness, muscular pain, reluctance to movement, extreme perspiration and myoglobinuria. The analysis of data pertinent to stable management, training and quanti-qualitative nutritional supply allowed to notice a low lack of phosphorus (-11.9%) and a high lack of calcium (-30.7%). Therefore, we added in the diet 50 g/head/day of dicalcium phosphate. After 30 days from diet change, symptomatology totally disappeared and seric values of CPK, AST and LDH returned in physiologic ranges. This work underlines the importance of calcium in training standardbred trotter nutrition

Abstract
n this work we report observations carried out in a standardbred trotter stable, where we registered a high incidence rate of myoglobinuria. The horses showed, after few minutes of training, stiffness, muscular pain, reluctance to movement, extreme perspiration and myoglobinuria. The analysis of data pertinent to stable management, training and quanti-qualitative nutritional supply allowed to notice a low lack of phosphorus (-11.9%) and a high lack of calcium (-30.7%). Therefore, we added in the diet 50 g/head/day of dicalcium phosphate. After 30 days from diet change, symptomatology totally disappeared and seric values of CPK, AST and LDH returned in physiologic ranges.
