Your horse was not designed to be fed this way and the gut function will reflect it, as will their health.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Medications<\/strong><\/span> &#8211; Many horses are on routine or daily medications, which could be medications for allergies, Cushing&#8217;s syndrome, joint pain, laminitis, or other conditions.\u00a0 These medications do and will negatively impact the digestive microbiome, either indirectly or directly.\u00a0 Side effects are very common and many times these side effects are a reflection of the changing digestive microbiome.\u00a0 Then, instead of remedying the problem, we are instructed to instead just add another medication to combat the side effects.\u00a0 Most horses do not need these medications.\u00a0 It is just a matter of the approach you choose.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Stress<\/strong> <\/span>&#8211; both physical and mental stress are huge &#8216;killers&#8217; to the equine gut and their overall health.\u00a0 This could be physical stress from too much training and competing, but it could also be mental stress induced by dry lot confinement, being stalled excessively, no turnout, no socialization, or constant trailering and training.\u00a0 The stress response in the horse is the same as that found in you and I.\u00a0 If activated for a prolonged period, the body will suffer on many levels, and repair is very difficult unless radical changes are made.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Exercise<\/strong><\/span> &#8211; exercise is one of the keys to health and longevity and has been proven for many decades.\u00a0 Exercise helps to quench inflammation in the body and also improves mood and cellular health, including the digestive microbiome.\u00a0 When the horse is happy, so is the gut in most cases.\u00a0 It is interesting that a large percentage of horses do not get proper exercise, even if turned out.\u00a0 Then, we like to complain when problems develop such as metabolic issues or other concerns.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Supplements<\/strong><\/span> &#8211; Supplements will either help or harm your horse.\u00a0 They should be used in a specific fashion, to target a specific issue, and used with wisdom.\u00a0 Many if not most horses are on various joint supplements, mood supplements, ration balancers, vitamin-mineral blends, or otherwise.\u00a0 If you look at the labels on these blends, most of the ingredients are synthetic and created in a laboratory.\u00a0 Then, because of the bitterness of these ingredients, synthetic flavors are added to make them more palatable, often in very high levels.\u00a0 All of these impact your horse&#8217;s gut negatively, even the &#8216;probiotic&#8217; blends on the market to support gut health.\u00a0 It is an illusion for the most part.\u00a0 Some horses have no problem, but do not benefit.\u00a0 Others have negative effects, but are continually supplemented.\u00a0 A supplement should be whole-food based, which includes herbs, with a specific purpose.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>These are the top 5 reasons for poor gut health in the horse.\u00a0 All of them are in your control.\u00a0 Change them and you can change your horse&#8217;s life, performance, health, and longevity.<\/p>\n<p>Author:\u00a0 Tom Schell, D.V.M, CVCH, CHN<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gut health in the horse is one of the key components when it comes to overall health and soundness.\u00a0 The &#8216;gut&#8217;
