Colic Prevention Checklist
The following checklist, as well as a recommended visit to the American Association of Equine Practitioners website (http://www.aaep.org), may be of assistance in preventing colic:
- Establish and stick to a daily routine (including feeding and exercise). Any changes to the daily routine should be made slowly.
- Provide horses with high-quality feed, comprised primarily of roughage.
- At least half the horse’s energy requirement should come from hay or grass.
- Do not place hay or feed on sandy areas in the pasture. Even small amounts of sand ingested over long periods of time can cause problems.
- Divide concentrated rations into two or more smaller feedings.
- Begin or continue an effective de-worming program.
- Provide exercise or turn out daily.
- Provide fresh, clean water at all times.
- Do not overstock pastures.
- Check hay, bedding, pastures, and surroundings for toxic substances.
- Maintain accurate management records.
Individual circumstances may vary and as with any health
question, your veterinarian should be your primary contact. Please
consult with your local veterinarian regarding an appropriate
de-worming program, how to assess the symptoms of colic, and quick
action requirements in the event of an emergency. For on-line
information, see the American Association of Equine Practitioners
site: www.myhorsematters.com.
