What is spirulina for horses?
Spirulina is a blue green algae which is well documented for maintenance of a healthy immune system to provide a nutritional support for healthy skin and help to maintain normal immune response to challenges from fly and midge bites. This product, with a great profile of amino acids, is also very useful in helping maintain healthy lungs in response to challenges from environmental influences like dust and mould spores.
Spirulina for horses: The Benefits
The nutritional benefits of spirulina are complimented when used in conjunction with the herb jiaogulan for healthy maintenance of the lungs, and chondroitin sulphate for nutritionally supporting optimal healthy skin.
Spirulina is also a highly useful source of protein containing up to 70% protein. It contains an excellent range of essential amino acids and is useful for the support and maintenance of healthy, well functioning equine muscle.
Feed Spirulina as a nutritional supplement starting in February or March to contribute to the maintenance of healthy skin and help support normal immune system response to challenges from fly and midge bites, seasonal allergies.
Feeding guidelines: 20g twice daily for an average horse (split between 2 feeds)

I have fed this to one of our young Arabs now for just over a year. This horse came to us with no mane and tail and bald areas of skin. He now has balanced minerals everyday, forage focused to the grass he eats. He has grown the most amazingly long mane and tail, has a superior shine to his coat and his muscle tone is fantastic! I would certainly recommend this product and this system of feeding and supplementing horses.
