Sand Clear 99 - Psyllium - Sand colic - 9 kg - Horse - FARNAM

Protect your equine's digestive system. Sand Clear 99 Farnam helps eliminate sediment to prevent sand colic in horses.

A natural solution against intestinal sand accumulation

Ingesting soil or sand poses a major risk for horses living in pasture or paddock. Indeed, these particles accumulate in the colon and cause painful sand colic in horses. The laboratory Farnam has designed Sand Clear 99 in a 9 kg format to address this problem. This dietary supplement contains psyllium, a natural fibre with exceptional hydrophilic properties.

Psyllium acts mechanically in the intestine by turning into a viscous gel on contact with liquids. This mucilage captures grains of sand and heavy sediment present in the digestive tract. As a result, it facilitates their natural evacuation through droppings. Using this product regularly helps maintain optimal intestinal function. It is an essential product for horses grazing on sandy soils or short grass.

This 9 kg bucket offers an economical solution for owners of stables or several horses. The granulated formulation is particularly palatable for the animal. It mixes easily into the daily ration without causing refusal. By choosing Farnam, you opt for a world leader in equine health. You thus effectively prevent complications linked to sand colic in horses.

A gentle mechanical action for lasting intestinal comfort

Sand accumulation does not only cause acute sand colic in horses. It also causes chronic irritation of the intestinal mucosa. These inflammations disrupt nutrient absorption and can lead to weight loss. Sand Clear 99 helps gently clean the walls of the large intestine. Its lubricating action promotes regular transit without irritating the sensitive digestive system of the equine.

The psyllium present in the formula also has prebiotic virtues. It supports the growth of beneficial intestinal flora. A balanced microbiota strengthens your companion's overall immunity. By eliminating unwanted residues, you improve the utilisation of the feed ration. Preventing sand colic in horses thus becomes a simple and natural care routine.

This supplement is recommended by many veterinarians for at-risk horses. Geographical areas with light soils require increased monitoring of digestion. The 9 kg format ensures constant availability of the product for your seasonal courses. Your horse's digestive safety remains the priority of the Farnam range.

Frequently asked questions about Sand Clear 99 - 9 kg - FARNAM

Can sand cause colic?

Yes, sand is a common and serious cause of digestive disorders in equines. When a horse eats off the ground, it involuntarily ingests particles of soil. Sand, being heavy, stagnates in the bends of the intestine instead of following transit. This accumulation creates a heavy mass that can displace or obstruct the colon. This phenomenon triggers the fearsome sand colic in horses. Without intervention, this can lead to a life-threatening surgical emergency. The preventive use of Sand Clear 99 is therefore strongly recommended to avoid these critical situations.

What are the symptoms of sand colic in horses?

The symptoms of sand colic in horses can be subtle or dramatic. The animal often shows abdominal discomfort by looking at its flanks or pawing the ground. Sometimes softer droppings than usual are observed, or droppings containing visible sand. A loss of general condition and a dull coat are signs of chronic sand irritating the intestine. In severe cases, the horse refuses to eat and lies down frequently. If you suspect the presence of sediment, perform the glove test with a dropping in water. If in doubt, a course of Sand Clear 99 helps with preventive evacuation.

What should I do if my horse has colic?

If your horse shows signs of sand colic in horses, contact your veterinarian immediately. While waiting for them to arrive, do not let the animal eat straw or hay. Walk your companion gently to stimulate intestinal transit if their condition allows it. Do not administer any medication without prior advice from a health professional. The veterinarian will be able to confirm the presence of sand by ultrasound or auscultation. After the acute episode, they will often recommend an intensive course of psyllium such as Sand Clear 99. Prevention remains the best way to avoid often more serious recurrences.

How to maintain a horse's digestive system in a paddock?

To limit sand colic in horses, environmental management is crucial. Avoid distributing hay directly on sandy or bare ground. Use hay racks, hay nets or stabilised slabs for feeding areas. Make sure your horse always has access to a clean, fresh water source to hydrate the feed bolus. In addition to these measures, carry out a monthly course of Sand Clear 99 Farnam. This intestinal cleansing routine compensates for the inevitable ingestion of dust and soil. Rigorous management combines lifestyle hygiene and targeted supplementation.
