Activated charcoal is a natural feed supplement produced from coconut shells that are heated to very high temperatures to remove organic matter, then exposed to superheated steam to activate the charcoal. This process increases the surface area and absorbency of the material by over 300%. Pharmaceutical-grade activated charcoal is composed of fine black granules that are odourless and tasteless.
Activated charcoal has a highly porous structure with natural binding properties, making it useful as a digestive support supplement for horses.
Suitable for horses:
- On lush pasture grazing
- During feed changes
- During travel or competition
- With loose droppings
- Prone to excess gas or bloating
- Sensitive when being girthed up
Feeding guidance: Charcoal is not intended for continuous use. Feed charcoal separately from other supplements, vitamins and minerals. Allow at least 2 hours between feeding charcoal and any other supplements or medications to avoid binding. If your horse is on veterinary prescribed medications, consult your vet before use.
This product is a complementary feed supplement for horses.
