Supporting the Equine Microbiome for Better Health

The equine microbiome plays a crucial role in digestion, immunity, and overall health. Horses are hindgut fermenters, with microorganisms in the large intestine breaking down fibre into essential energy and nutrients. A healthy microbiome helps protect against harmful pathogens and supports optimal performance. To maintain gut health, it’s important to feed high-quality fibre, avoid high-starch diets, and introduce dietary changes gradually. Supplementing with pre and probiotics and reducing stress can also support a balanced microbiome, ensuring your horse remains healthy and thrives.
