17.01.2022 Did you know that the herb Meadowseet can help with gastric ulcers? It acts like a antacid, buffering the pH and providing anti-inflammatory relief. Here's a link to read more about Meadowsweet for your horse: //inaturallyforhorses.wordpress.com/2017/04/17/is-meadowsweet-a-good-match-for-your-horse/ Read below about this study that shows:... Average gastric fluid pH levels were significantly higher (more basic/alkalised) during transport than during confinement; Horses fed alfalfa hay (lucerne hay) (which is high in calcium and associated with buffering stomach acid) one to six hours before transport had significantly more food retained in their stomachs after transport; Gastric squamous ulcer scores were higher for 15 horses after transport, with severe ulceration evident in some horses; and Severity of squamous ulceration appeared to be inversely related to the amount of feed retained within the stomach during transportthat is, horses with the least feed in their stomachs had more severe ulcers. If you transport your horse, make sure there's food in his stomach (preferably lucerne hay) and you can add in Meadowsweet to his feed a couple of days before and after ~ iNaturally for Horses
