Weak kidneys hinder detoxification
Nervousness, swollen legs, or a peculiar sweet, urea-like odor in the coat, sometimes accompanied by muscle stiffness, are just a few signs that indicate a detoxification disorder and some degree of kidney weakness in horses. This is not uncommon.
In such cases, it makes sense to adjust the horse’s diet. The overall protein content of the ration should be reduced. This is achieved by significantly reducing pasture grass, partially replacing hay with straw, increasing oil feeding while reducing grain feeding. Sugar beet pulp is particularly low in protein.
Sensible herbal feeding
In nature, horses can naturally enhance their diet with saponin-rich herbs. Saponins are carbohydrate-like secondary plant substances that usually taste extremely bitter. Horses accept and love this bitter taste. They are capable of strengthening kidney function, thus promoting the body’s self-cleansing.
