Description

Key Features:

Contains over 90 % high quality pelleted psyllium
Contains added live yeast probiotic
Highly palatable and easy to mix in feed
Keep dry and add just before feeding

Horses and ponies grazing sparce 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.

Sandout Pellets contains over 90% Psyllium husk – from the seeds of the Plantago ovata plant. Psyllium husk contains around 70% soluble fibre, and is known to absorb water rapidly (increasing in size by tenfold) and forming a gelatinous compound containing glycosides and mucilages.

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 damaged, upsetting the balance of the vital microbiome (“gut bugs” ) which normally adhere to the gut lining. So Sandout Pellets also contains 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.
