The authors of the above noted an error in the publication of this paper (AOP and in this issue) in the y axis to Figure 3. The right hand y axis title for horse 4 should read: ‘Fructose (mg/gram of caecal fluid DM).’ The corrected figure for horse 4 is shown below.

Figure 3
figure 1

Caecal fluid fructose (right y axis), sucrose (left y axis) and fructo-oligosaccharides, with degrees of polymerization ranging from 3 to 7, (left y axis) concentrations for horses 1–5 (top to bottom). The time points at which histological (H) and clinical (C) signs of laminitis were initially observed are indicated above the x axis. Note: horses 2 and 3 were initially observed to exhibit clinical signs of laminitis at 38 and 43 h post-oligofructose administration, respectively.
