SUMMARY The oral glucose tolerance test in the horse provides an aid to the diagnosis of pancreatic and small intestinal dysfunction. A dose of ***1 g. glucose/Kg bodyweight is administered by stomach tube producing a peak glucose level after two hours, which returns to the resting level four hours later. Two horses with autopsy‐confirmed small intestinal disease showing symptoms of malabsorption gave a “flat” glucose tolerance curve. RÉSUMÉ Le test de tolérance du glucose par voie orale peut contribuer au diagnostic des troubles du pancreas et de l'intestin grêle. Une dose de 1 gr de glucose par kilo de poids vif est administrée à la sonde; on obtient une élevation maximale du glucose plasmatique après deux heures, et retour à la normale après quatre heures. Deux chevaux dont l'examen nécropsique confirma l'existence d'une maladie de l'intestin grêle avec malabsorption montrèrent une élevation modérée de la glycèmie. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Der orale Glucose‐Toleranztest ist beim Pferd ein Hilfsmittel zur Diagnose von Funktionsstörungen im Pankreas und Dünndarm. Eine Dosis von 1 g Glucose pro kg Körpergewicht, per Masenschlundsonde gegeben, erzeugt nach zwei Stunden eine Gipfelkonzentration der Blutglucose. Vier Stunden später sind die Ruhewerte wieder erreicht. Zwei Pferde mit autoptisch gesicherten Dünndarmerkrankungen und Malabsorptionssymptomen wiesen eine flache Glucose‐Toleranzkurve auf.
