Equine Microbiome Project


A gal at my barn put this on my radar!



And as a big time fan of science, and especially microbes ;) I wanted to get in on the action! I have mixed professional views about all the microbiome hype, but I do think learning more about it is critical to further our understanding (and maybe, just maybe find a colic preventative)


Right now it is FREE to enroll, and if your horse is eligible, they will send you a fecal sampling kit to return via post.   I got one for Porsche and Tesla - I know they have very different metabolisms and nutritional needs - so it will be interesting to see how and if that shows up in the data...
