Serious digestive problems are becoming increasingly common in horses.
Many horses now suffer from anal discharge. Anal discharge is a sign of permeable intestinal mucosa and insufficient absorption of intestinal water. This problem is always accompanied by a major disturbance in the intestinal flora, often due to the presence of fructans, fungi and mycotoxins (endophytes), and as a result the whole digestive process is disrupted.
The tannins contained in astringent herbs seal the intestinal mucosa. Adstringa can be combined with Amara bitter herbs and, depending on the severity of the problem, with EquiGaron or PerNaturam Peloid granules.

Application notes
For a 600 kg horse, feed 50 to 70 g of Adstringa tannin herbs for 5 to 7 days. Then give Amara bitter herbs for 3 to 4 weeks. It's a good idea - and often necessary - to give EquiGaron or Peloid granules from PerNaturam for a fortnight in addition. After that, the problem is usually solved. The intestinal mucosa has normalised and the desired intestinal bacteria have settled in and multiplied.
