Horse microbiome plays a larger role than previously thought

The microbiome of horses has a greater influence on their health than has long been assumed. This is the conclusion of a recent study published in Bit & Cap.

According to the source, the microbiome can play a role in digestion, the immune system and the overall health of horses. The composition of bacteria in the intestines appears to be crucial in this regard.

The findings could provide new insights for horse healthcare. It is possible that the composition of the microbiome will be taken into account more often in treatments in the future.

Further research is still needed to determine exactly how the microbiome affects the health of horses and how this can be applied in practice.
