Why microbes for your horse?

Science shows that a balanced hindgut is the foundation for a healthy horse. Keeping these microbes happy supports:

Dietary stability: helps horses handle seasonal pasture changes and rich grass transitions more smoothly.

Natural defences: a large part of a horse’s natural protective systems is housed in the gut. A balanced microbiome supports these defences, promoting a vibrant coat and healthy skin condition.

Digestive comfort: supports a settled stomach and normal droppings during stressful times.

Efficient energy: ensures your horse gets every bit of nutritional goodness out of their daily feed.

By adding beneficial microbes to their diet, you are simply supporting the natural system your horse already has, helping them maintain nutritional resilience and comfort all year round.

FAQs

How will feeding my horse microbes help with their coat and hooves?

There are three kinds of bacterial microbes good, neutral and bad. Horses need a balance of these and thankfully only a few of the good bacteria are needed to keep the bad and neutral in check. As long as the balance of good, neutral and bad bacteria remains constant and the gastrointestinal tract is stable then the horse stays healthy.

Why do animals habitats also need microbes?

We don’t like chemicals and given the choice we expect our pets will feel the same. Cleaning kennels, coops, patios and other outdoor areas where urine and faeces produce smells and flies with Healthy Habitats helps reduce odours and fly infestations. Because it’s 100% natural it’s perfectly safe for your pets to walk on before it’s dried and you need not worry about them licking their paws.

Spray healthy habitats or air freshener on your pet’s bedding to reduce odours in between washes.

Can it be used in drinking water?

Yes, Microbz can be added to drinking water. However, we recommend always providing a second source of plain water so your horse has a choice.

Can I add microbz to hot mash or boiling water?

No, avoid adding microbz to hot feed or boiling water, as high temperatures can kill off some of the beneficial microbes. Add it once the feed has cooled and is comfortable to touch.

I see it contains molasses, is this safe for my horse?

Yes, the molasses in microbz is used up during the fermentation process as food for the microbes. The result is a product with the taste and palatability of molasses, but without the high sugar content.

Can I use microbz alongside my other supplements and medications?

Microbz is completely safe to use alongside other supplements. If your horse is on medication, we recommend consulting your vet before introducing any new product, including probiotics.

I accidentally gave too much, is it harmful?

Not at all, microbz is natural and completely safe to consume. The gut will regulate what it needs, and any excess will simply pass through the system.

Can my horse have this daily?

Absolutely. While balancing microbes is especially beneficial during times of stress or dietary change, microbz can be given daily to help maintain a healthy, balanced gut and support overall wellbeing.

What makes microbz different from dry powdered formulas?

Microbz comes in a live liquid form, ensuring the beneficial microbes remain active and diverse. Powdered formulas are often freeze-dried, which can cause the microbes to go dormant or reduce their numbers. With microbz, the microbes are alive and actively ready, supporting efficient and optimal gut balance.

I’ve tried beneficial microbes before with little effect. Why might microbz be different?

Many formulas use dormant or single-strain bacteria. Microbz contains a multi-species, live microbial system that works dynamically with your horse’s natural gut flora, offering a more complete and active approach to digestive health.

Are the microbes in microbz alive and active?

Yes. Microbz products contain live, active microbial cultures that continue to thrive once they enter the digestive system, helping to restore and maintain gut balance naturally.

When should I use more?

During periods of stress to support your horse's digestive balance, such as changes in diet or pasture, travel, competition or illness.

Why does my horse need this if they have access to pasture?

Modern soils and pastures lack the same natural microbial diversity that they once did. Factors such as weather changes, overgrazing and reduced plant variety mean that your horse might not be getting the full spectrum of beneficial microbes from forage alone.
