Herbal Blend DarmRuhe for Horses

Flatulence in horses

The horse’s digestive system breaks down energy-rich nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins and crude fiber.
Depending on the nutrient, different microorganisms, digestive juices and enzymes are involved.
Most microorganisms are found in the cecum and colon (parts of the large intestine). This area is where crude fiber is primarily fermented. This fermentation of crude fiber provides the horse with energy - so good quality hay is essential here.
If there is an excess of starch or protein, these nutrients, which are actually supposed to be digested in the small intestine, can also reach the large intestine and be microbially fermented by bacteria. This is where the problem of incorrect fermentation and flatulence arises. (Technical term: meteorism)

Bloating or bloating in horses can be caused by the following circumstances:

• too rapid feed change including grazing
• too little hay
• too much concentrated feed (starch)
• Mold in the feed
• fresh bread
• Feeding wilted green fodder
• Stress and therefore eating too quickly
• Nutrient deficiencies
