Historically, Fenugreek Seeds was given to help horses to gain weight. The plant was also added to hay to improve palatability, hence the name foenum-graecum, which means “Greek hay.”  But there are many other benefits of this versatile herb.

When the seeds are soaked, a slimy, soothing mucilage is formed. This mucilage can coat and soothe an inflamed or irritated gastrointestinal tract. Fenugreek seeds have been studied for their ability to protect the stomach from ulcer formation, with the results being equal to omeprazole.*

Often when the digestive tract is damaged, we see bloating and gas. Fenugreek can improve digestion, helping these symptoms.

As Fenugreek moves through the digestive tract, it absorbs endotoxins (part of a bacteria’s cell wall) and helps to flush them out. This is beneficial for a horse with ulcers or during a bacterial infection when the bacteria die off to assist in the removal of waste.

Fenugreek, can be useful to help regulate glucose and insulin. Many studies in humans and rats have shown Fenugreek’s ability to slow glucose absorption and improve insulin sensitivity.*  

 

With its array of flavonoids, including quercetin and its steroidal saponins, Fenugreek can be helpful for horses with cold arthritis. Cold weather worsens the symptoms of the cold arthritis, makes horses stiffer, and causes them to seek heat by standing in the sun. Consider using Fenugreek with Boswellia, Devil’s claw, or Turmeric on horses that exhibit symptoms of cold arthritis. 

 

Fenugreek is known for its ability to improve milk supply and is often given to mothers after birth.

 

Dosage horse 500 kg: 20-30g / vrk.

 1 tablespoon = 12 g.

 

Fenugreek is generally considered a food-safe herb; however, it should not be used during pregnancy. Also avoid large doses if your horse has low thyroid activity.
