Fenugreek seed (Trigonella foenum-graecum)

Fenugreek seed is a rich natural source of Vitamin E (the fertility vitamin) although don’t feed it to overly flirtatious mares as it may increase oestrogen levels!  It is a wonderful appetite stimulant and weight conditioner, is also very demulcent and emollient. Being so it encourages healing and prevention of gastric ulcers, so it is ideal for horses at high risk of developing gastric ulcers e.g. are fed high grain diets and stabled in busy competitive yards.

Traditional Uses:

• Helps to relieve gastric ulcers
• Increases feed palatability
• Increases insulin sensitivity, regulates blood sugar levels & modulates glucose absorption
• An aid in fertility and milk production
• Helps to serve as a natural mild laxative
• To support mucous membranes
• To increase feed conversion
• To promote lymphatic drainage
• As an antioxidant and nutritive tonic
