✨"Within a day on GutBitters, her droppings returned to normal! Impressed!"
It's that time again - the grass flushes and our horses get cow-splatty loose droppings, especially common when our horses are switching from a winter on stemmy, fibre-rich hay to an abundance of fresh, juicy, green grass-shoots.
The reason? The sudden high percentage of water in those fresh new neon-green grass blades - up to 60% higher water content than the winter hay our horses have been eating, and with zero cellulose fibre going through the hindgut, causing disruption in the gut flora.
It's simple enough to reverse by restricting access to the green stuff and keeping an adlib hay supply on tap. But what we can also do is feed 'bitter' herbs.
