Product Description

OKAPI Intestinal Support Herbs are a pure herbal mixture, primarily featuring herbs from the “Anise-Cumin-Fennel Helpers” spectrum, which are also very popular among humans when dealing with occasional tummy troubles. This mix is particularly suitable for horses prone to bloating, which may manifest as a round belly or frequent flatulence at the start of a riding session. These herbs support the natural gut environment of the horse and are therefore also suitable as part of colon restoration measures, for example, as a replacement for or in rotation with OKAPI Bitter Herbs.

In principle, OKAPI Intestinal Support Herbs are suitable for adult horses of all ages and breeds.

OKAPI Intestinal Support Herbs can be easily combined with other products. We recommend combining it with OKAPI Lapacho bark and OKAPI ColoBalance for further support of the gut flora.

Feeding recommendations

OKAPI Intestinal Support Herbs should not be given for longer than six to eight weeks at a time. After this period, a break of four to six weeks is recommended, or a switch to another herbal mixture. This approach also aligns with the horse’s natural feeding behaviour. A proven method is alternating between OKAPI Bitter Herbs and OKAPI Intestinal Support Herbs in a two-week rotation throughout the winter.

OKAPI Intestinal Support Herbs can be directly incorporated into the horse’s existing feed and can be added dry or moistened to the feed or sprinkled over the hay.

How do I calculate the correct dosage for my horse?

To calculate the appropriate amount of OKAPI Intestinal Support Herbs for your horse, follow these steps:

1. Determine your horse’s weight:
Your horse’s weight can be determined using scales, a weight tape or an app such as the BCI App from our partner Sanoanimal, available for free on Google Play and Apple Store.

2. Use the feeding recommendation as your starting point:
The general recommendation for OKAPI products is based on a 600 kg horse. Add dry or moistened to the feed or sprinkle over the hay. Horses receive 30-50g a day (about a handful). Ponies receive half this amount, depending on their size.

3. Adjust the amount to your horse’s weight:
For example, for a horse weighing 300 kg:
50 g ÷ 600 kg × 300 kg = 25 g per day

This calculation can be used to determine the appropriate amount for horses of different weights.

- 500g sufficient for approximately 1.5 – 2 weeks
- 1,000g sufficient for approximately 3 – 6 weeks
- 3,000g sufficient for multiple horses

Complementary feed for horses

OKAPI Intestinal Support Herbs should be fed for no longer than six to eight weeks at a time. Afterward, allow a break of four to six weeks or switch to another herbal blend, such as OKAPI Bitter Herbs. This approach aligns with the horse’s natural grazing behavior.

During the winter months, alternating every two weeks between OKAPI Intestinal Support Herbs and OKAPI Bitter Herbs has proven to be particularly effective.
