Psyllium Husk for Horses, Digestive & Sand Colic Support

Description

Psyllium Husk – Plantago ovata

Psyllium Husk for Horses is a natural digestive aid rich in fibre and mucilage. It supports gut health by helping regulate both diarrhoea and constipation while also assisting in the prevention of sand colic.

Why Choose Psyllium Husk?

Psyllium swells when mixed with water, becoming a soothing gel that helps balance bowel movements. It absorbs excess moisture to firm loose stools and softens stool to ease constipation. For horses, its unique ability to collect and carry sand through the digestive tract makes it especially valuable in sandy soil regions.

Key Benefits

• Sand colic support: Helps remove sand and debris from the gut.
• Digestive balance: Naturally regulates both constipation and diarrhoea.
• Soothing action: Acts as a demulcent, protecting and calming gut membranes.
• Natural healing: Encourages healthy bowel function and comfort.

Feeding Advice

Ensure your horse has constant access to fresh water when feeding psyllium, as it swells and absorbs moisture. Adding extra salt can help increase water intake. Do not feed psyllium to horses with an existing gut impaction, and avoid continuous use as a sand colic preventative. For best results, feed in cycles. Always separate psyllium from oral medications by a couple of hours to avoid reduced absorption.
