Small signs can point to a bigger conversation.
Horses cannot tell us when they are uncomfortable, so we must rely on subtle changes in their health, behavior, and performance. The microbiome of the horse hindgut, specifically the Right Dorsal Colon, plays a massive role in overall equine health. Disruptions here can lead to systemic inflammation and performance drops that are often misdiagnosed.
Our study focuses on identifying horses exhibiting specific indicators of Subclinical Equine Right Dorsal Colitis, ensuring they get targeted diagnostics rather than generic treatments.
Not Every Performance Problem Is a Gastric Ulcer
When horses experience these symptoms, many naturally suspect gastric ulcers. However, horses suffering from Subclinical Right Dorsal Colitis may present with remarkably similar symptoms while requiring a completely different management strategy.
Persistent soft manure or fecal water lasting more than one week.
Symptoms that are not related to a recent feed or management change.
Changes in attitude, responsiveness, or performance not related to lameness.
