Horses and ponies grazing sparse vegetation or given hay or feed spread out on sandy or very dry and dusty soils, can ingest varying amounts of sand. This sand can accumulate in the gut and cause digestive disturbances, adversely affecting the normal functioning of the gut.
It is thought that this gelatinous psyllium helps to stimulate the muscular waves or peristalsis which pushes the contents of the gut along its length, helping to expel the excess sand which may have accumulated in the gut.
Because of the abrasive nature of sand as it moves through the digestive system, the gut lining may be affected, upsetting the balance of the vital microbiome (“gut bugs”) which normally adheres to the gut lining. Sandout Pellets also contain a probiotic to help restore a healthy microbiome.
Sandout Pellets should be fed for 7 consecutive days in each month to avoid the gut and the microbiome becoming accustomed to the psyllium, and using it as a soluble fibre source rather than an aid to sand expulsion. Feeding for longer than 7 days should be discussed with your veterinary surgeon.
Feeding Directions: For 500kg horse: 90g per day, mixed in a small feed for 7 consecutive days of each month or as advised by your veterinary surgeon. Do not exceed 90g per day unless advised by your veterinary surgeon. 45g (approx.) measure enclosed.
Do not add to wet food or allow to soak up moisture as this will activate the product before reaching the gut. If you do need to add to soaked feed, we recommend keeping Sandout Pellets as dry as possible and adding immediately before feeding.
