Photonic Therapy Horses Treatment

The most effective way to reduce the incidence of colic in horses on the farm or on the racetrack.

Is to feed Liberal quantities of good quality forages, limit grain intake to that necessary to maintain acceptable body condition.

And feed the grain portion of the daily ration in small meals and as frequently as practical.

Additionally, it is a good idea to have hay available to all horses even in the spring when pasture is lush.

In many instances there is simply not enough gut — scratch factor in lush grass.

This, combined with the increased rate of passage associated with a low dry matter feed, leads to the appearance of more soluble forage constituents in the hindgut, which again can lead to gas build — up and abdominal discomfort.

There are very few, if any, instances when over — feeding dry hay can lead to a problem, but there are numerous problems that can develop  if hay is limited.

Although everyone is taught of the perils of feeding moldy  hay, this practice is not nearly as important a cause of colic in horses as is under  feeding forage.

The potential for enormous problems of the gut if tainted or moldy feedstuffs are fed.

As the horse has a much lower threshold of pain than cattle and as such cannot tolerate the insult to the gastrointestinal tract inflicted by certain molds or the toxins they produce.

Moldy hay and or grain should not be fed to horses, as certainly the risk of colic is increased.

It is common in some parts of the world to see large round bales of hay and or silage fed to horses.

Although many times this is done successfully, one must realise that there is an increased risk of gastric upset when either of these practices are used.

Horses generally will not ingest moldy feedstuffs if given a choice, but moldy hay or spoiled silage can be deadly if the horse is forced to eat either.

Feedstuffs fed to horses should be free of mold and other foreign debris, be of a species appropriate for the horse and should be properly cured and stored in a manner that will prevent contamination.

Moldy feedstuffs can also cause abortion in any livestock.
