Prevent sand from getting inside
To prevent your horse from ingesting sand, never feed hay on a sandy surface. Also, do not let your horse graze on a pasture that is (too) bare. Check the manure regularly for sand by placing some manure in a clear plastic bag or glove along with water. If you notice a lot of sand in the manure or if your horse has colic-like symptoms, contact your veterinarian immediately. Vitalbix PsylliumMash helps remove sand from the intestines but is not a miracle cure. Preventing the ingestion of (too much) sand remains important, even when you feed a product containing psyllium. More tips on prevention and symptoms of sand colic can be found here.
Simply measure out Vitalbix PsylliumMash using the Vitalbix measuring cup.
Mix Vitalbix PsylliumMash with 2 to 3 parts water if your horse likes a thick, slop-like consistency. It’s the kind he can just take bites of while you hold the bucket upside down 😉
Is your horse the type that prefers a soup-like mash? The kind he can slurp up? Then mix it with 4 to 5 parts water.
You can adjust this to suit your horse’s preferences. The amount of water doesn’t affect how the PsylliumMash works. Thick or thin—either is fine!
Not exactly. The mash in PsylliumMash tastes just as good, but contains no alfalfa or added vitamins/minerals. And, as you’ve come to expect from us (Vitalbix), this product also contains no grains, molasses, or GMO soy.
Sure, you can and should definitely do that! You can mix some psyllium seeds into Vitalbix NutriMash. The big advantage of PsylliumMash is that it’s ready in no time, without any mess, and you know exactly how much to use. Plus, loose psyllium is quite expensive, and there are many different types. With PsylliumMash, you can be sure you’re getting the best variety at a good price.
Yes, that’s possible. Products containing psyllium help remove sand from the intestines, but they are not a miracle cure. If your horse ingests a lot of sand, it can still accumulate in the intestines. If there is a large “sand deposit” in the intestines, feeding a psyllium product is not always sufficient to remove the sand, and intervention by a veterinarian or equine clinic may sometimes be necessary. Preventing sand ingestion is and remains very important. In addition, providing sufficient (unlimited) roughage is important. A continuous supply of fiber helps remove sand from the intestines and prevent buildup.
You can safely feed Vitalbix PsylliumMash to young horses. In principle, you can start doing so as soon as they are weaned (around 6 months of age), although of course the question is whether this is already necessary 🙂 A course of treatment is only necessary if your horse is kept in a paddock or pasture where he might ingest sand.
