Psyllium

Horseflex Psyllium is a feed material for horses to support the digestion and the intestines. It consists of the whole seeds of the Plantago Ovata plant and is 100% natural. It is mainly given to horses that eat (too much) sand. However, sand is not properly drained and completely excreted, this entails risks for your horse or pony. Psyllium seeds contributes to the removal of sand from the gastrointestinal tract. It creates a jelly-like sticky mass in the intestines to which the remaining sand adheres and is efficiently removed in this way.

Why is my horse eating sand?
Eating sand is common in horses and usually occurs unnoticed through the feed or while grazing. In rare cases a horse will eat sand because of a mineral deficiency, possibly due to a lower immune system or because he is shedding his winter coat. If your horse ingests more sand than normal, problems can arise in the intestines. To tackle the problem, it is useful to find out the cause of the sand eating.

Feeding advice for preventive use:
A cure of approximately 7 days every 4 weeks.Pony: 50 – 150 grams per day (depending on the sand intake)*Horse: 100 – 300 grams per day (depending on the sand intake)**In acute application, the dose may be increased to 1 gram of psyllium seed per kilogram of body weight.(!)
