The horse that was eating its own poo, powered by Equine Health Analysis

One of the most interesting cases we have dealt with was a client whose horse was eating its own droppings. The testing showed that their worm count was good and they had no deficiencies, but nitrites showed up, which shows that the horse has ingested something it shouldn’t, effectively a poisoning.
There are three reasons why a horse would eat its own droppings...
1, If he needs more fat because the pancreas isn’t working.
2, A Deficiency of vitamins and minerals in the body
3, Submissive act (in wild if they are bottom of the herd, it would be their job to eat the poo to hide their tracks)

The solution: With nitrites in body, the most likely reason for eating poo is trying to get fats into the body to help the pancreas deal with nitrites. He was put onto a chelating detox powder, which had titanium clay absorbs ions from the blood and body that should be there.
