Manure eating (coprophagia) occurs in both foals and adult horses and can have several causes, including:
- Impaired intestinal flora or digestion
- Deficiencies in vitamins, minerals or fibre
- Stress or boredom
- Habit or curiosity
Unique B30 can provide support for coprophagia by helping the body regain balance. The supplement contains a wide range of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and probiotics that supplement any deficiencies present and support gut health.
Unique B30 includes:
Vitamins:
- Vitamin B complex (B1, B6, B12): supports the nervous system and metabolism
- Vitamin C: helps the immune system and contributes to recovery
- Vitamin E: powerful antioxidant that protects cells
Minerals:
- Zinc: important for skin, coat and immune system
- Selenium: antioxidant that can reduce inflammation
- Iron: supports red blood cell production and energy production
Why does Unique B30 help?
- It helps restore healthy gut flora thanks to pre- and probiotics
- It replenishes possible deficiencies in vitamins and minerals, which can be a cause of manure eating
- It supports digestion and nutrient absorption
- It can help bring the horse back into nutritional balance, which may reduce the unwanted behaviour
In case of persistent behaviour, it is always wise to consult a vet or nutritionist.
