Digestive plants for horses: preserve its intestinal balance

The digestive system is often considered as the « second brain » horse. Due to its complexity and fragility, it is frequently subject to disturbances: gastric acidity, bloating, soft crottins or plant imbalance.

Use of digestive plants for horses is a gentle and effective approach to maintain serene digestion and optimize nutrient assimilation.

Why use herbal therapy for horse digestion?

Unlike man, the horse secretes gastric acid continuously. Lack of fiber or prolonged stress can quickly irritate the stomach mucosa. The medicinal plants allow to:

  • Line the gastric mucosa (Mucilaginous action).

  • Regulating acidity stomach.

  • Supporting intestinal flora (natural prebiotic action).

  • Reduce gases and intestinal spasms.
