How to Help Prevent Colic in Horses?
There are many variables that may cause a horse to colic or have abdominal pain. Many cases of colic are directly linked to the diet and may be preventable with turnout, proper diet and adequate water consumption. The horse’s natural diet consists of forage grazing and browsing throughout the majority of the day. However, modern feeding practices typically include grains or sweet feeds that contain a high level of simple carbohydrates that are usually administered in a meal setting. This may induce some cases of colic by overwhelming the digestive capacity of the small intestine and altering the pH of the hindgut.
Recommendations to Help Prevent Equine Colic Include:
- Allowing horses consistent access to a high forage diet of hay or pasture may help reduce the risk of colic.
- For horses that need additional calories from grain, feeding smaller, more frequent meals can allow the small intestine to properly digest the carbohydrate load and prevent hindgut acidosis, which can prevent colic.
- Make all feeding changes gradually, including new hays, to allow the hindgut microbiome to adapt to new feeds.
- Provide digestive support, such as a daily wellness supplement that provides omega-3 fatty acids that may reduce intestinal inflammation and pre- and probiotics to maintain healthy hindgut bacteria and aid in normal digestion.

Radar
Platinum Performance® client since 2008
“Radar was diagnosed with hind gut issues and had been doing generally well, until he started dropping weight at an alarming rate. He had always gotten Platinum Performance Equine, but at the suggestion of my vet, I added Platinum Gastric Support as an emergency measure, then added Platinum Balance and Healthy Weight. Radar gained 100lbs in about 2 months. The hypermotile gut sounds went away and he became alert and comfort.”
