Lincoln Herbs Psyllium Husks 1.5kg (Equine)
Psyllium Husks are the outer coating of Plantago ovata seeds and are high in indigestible fibre. Horses who graze on sparce, sandy pastures ingest sand into the digestive system where it can settle and potentially cause problems. When Psyllium Husks are wet they swell to form a gel which when passing through the digestive system aids sand clearance from the digestive tract by promoting gut motility.
- Psyllium Husks can help with the prevention of sand build up in the horse's gut, they are not a substitute for veterinary advice or treatment.
- It is important when feeding Psyllium Husks that the horse has constant access to fresh water.
- As a precaution, do not feed Psyllium simultaneously with any medication/supplements, feed separately to ensure absorption.
- We would always recommend consulting with your Vet if you have concerns about the health of your horse.
