Unsuitable for pregnant mares due to the uterine stimulating effects of this herb.

Fenugreek has been found to be a flavour preferred by horses. Fenugreek seeds are stated to possess mucilaginous, demulcent and nutritive properties, and have traditionally been used to soothe gastric ulcers and digestive upset, and during convalescence to improve eating and condition. Fenugreek seeds can also be used as a poultice for superficial, uncomplicated wounds once the seeds are boiled with water, cooled, and made into a thick paste.

Following parturition, Fenugreek seeds can be fed as a supplement to mares to stimulate milk flow but should not be fed to pregnant mares due to their uterine stimulating properties.

Feed supplements should be fed according to body weight. Introduce to the horse's diet gradually, splitting between feeds (when applicable).

Fenugreek is a complementary feeding stuff for equine animals. Feedmark uses nothing in the formulation of this product that contravenes competition rules.

My horse is very fussy, could this help?

In certain taste preference studies, Fenugreek has been shown to be one of the horse’s preferred flavours, so in many cases Fenugreek seeds will tempt your horse to eat. If you are trying to mask a particularly unpleasant taste/smell in your horses feed you could also look at Fussy Feeder.

 

My horse is underweight and is fussy, would this help?

Traditionally, Fenugreek Seeds were fed as a conditioning aid- they help to increase appetite, and are high in protein to help support muscle build.
