Psyllium Husk

Fibre & Sand Management Supplement

Psyllium Husk is a high-fibre, mucilage-rich bulking agent added to equine feeds to stimulate gastrointestinal activity and help avoid sand accumulation.

Designed for horses in sandy soil areas, where periodic addition of psyllium to the feed is a common practice to help avoid the accumulation of sand in the digestive tract.

How Psyllium Works

Psyllium is high in fibre and mucilage. When combined with water it swells to many times its original size, becoming slimy and gelatinous.

Ideal For

• Horses grazing or fed on sandy ground
• Periodic sand management programs
• Stimulating gastrointestinal activity

Key Benefits

• Food-fibre bulking agent
• High in fibre and mucilage
• Stimulates gastrointestinal activity
• May help avoid sand accumulation

Directions

Feed up to 80 g per 100 kg bodyweight, 3–5 days per month.

Cautions

• Do not feed to a horse whose gut is impacted
• Not recommended for continual feeding
• Consult your veterinarian before giving oral drugs while feeding psyllium, as it can reduce drug absorption in some cases

Complete Gut Support

Fed periodically, Psyllium Husk is a simple fibre supplement to support gut activity and sand management in horses on sandy country.

It is vital that horses have access to plenty of clean, fresh water. Always read the label before use and consult your veterinarian if your horse shows signs of colic or is unwell, pregnant or on other treatment.
