Colic? HugHo Horse Feed makes the difference!

Colic is a common and often serious condition in horses. The term "colic" is a collective term for abdominal pain and can have various causes, such as constipation, gas formation or intestinal cramps. One of the most important causes of colic is a disturbed intestinal flora, something that is often influenced by nutrition.

The influence of nutrition on colic

Many commercial horse feeds contain processed ingredients, synthetic additives and chemical preservatives. These substances can disrupt the intestinal flora and disrupt digestion. In addition, some feeds contain bran semolina – a by-product of wheat processing that still contains flour residues. These can bind in the intestines and cause an increased risk of constipation and thus colic.

How HugHo Horse Feed helps reduce the risk of colic

At HugHo we consciously choose a natural approach to horse nutrition. Our feeds are free of ballast materials such as bran semolina and contain only high-quality, fibre-rich ingredients that support digestion.

Herbs to support intestinal flora
All HugHo power feeds contain carefully selected herbs that contribute to a healthy and balanced intestinal flora. This helps to optimize natural digestion and minimize the risk of disturbances.

Fiber-rich food for stable digestion
HugHo focuses on a natural diet that meets the horse's needs. In addition to concentrated feed, roughage plays a crucial role in preventing colic. Our sun-dried Coarse Lucerne offers a valuable addition to the horse's daily diet. This fibre-rich roughage stimulates a smooth digestion and supports healthy intestinal function.

Sufficient roughage: the basis for healthy digestion
A horse is a grazer by nature and needs a constant supply of roughage to keep the intestines moving. Sufficient good hay is essential to keep the intestinal flora in balance and to prevent blockages. A shortage of roughage can lead to too long a break between meals, which increases the chance of stomach problems and colic. By giving your horse as much access to high-quality hay as possible, you ensure a stable and healthy digestion.

No unnecessary additives
HugHo avoids synthetic additives, molasses and other processed ingredients that can affect intestinal health. By using only pure, natural raw materials, we ensure that the horse gets the nutrition it needs - without unnecessary ballast.

Prevention is better than cure

Colic is a serious condition that can even be life-threatening in some cases. By consciously choosing natural, high-fiber food and sufficient roughage, such as good hay and our Grove Lucerne, the chance of digestive problems can be significantly reduced. At HugHo we believe that healthy nutrition is the key to a healthy horse.
