Tech in 10 - Episode 48: The Horse Gut Explained: Hindgut Health & the Microbiome

The horse’s digestive system is unique — and understanding it is key to supporting gut health, performance, and behaviour. In this episode of Tech in 10, Tommy Heffernan from Precision Microbes introduces the equine digestive system, with a focus on the hindgut and the equine microbiome. In this video, we cover: • The key stages of equine digestion • Why the hindgut provides most of a horse’s energy • How microbes ferment fibre to produce energy • Evolutionary biology and why horses are natural trickle feeders • The impact of modern management (stabling, transport, diet changes) • Why transitions can challenge gut health • The importance of microbiome stability This episode sets the scene for a new Tech in 10 equine series exploring hindgut health and digestive function. 👍 Like | 💬 Comment | 🔔 Subscribe for more Tech in 10 episodes
