Plantain as a supplement for horses

Plantain (also known as Plantago lanceolata) is a plant in the plantain family recognizable by its rosette-like manner of growth. The plant spreads easily and is therefore often seen as a weed. However, plantain contains many beneficial nutrients, such as tannins, essential oils, flavonoids and mucilages. For example, plantain naturally has a soothing and expectorant effect on the respiratory tract, making it widely used as support for dry coughs and colds. In addition, the herb is known for its soothing and protective effect on the intestinal wall, so plantain can also have a positive effect on digestion.

When can I give plantain to my horse?

Plantain naturally has a soothing and protective effect on the mucous membranes in the respiratory tract and is therefore very suitable for horses that can use extra support due to, for example, hypersensitivity to certain substances, a lowered resistance or a cold. In addition, plantain naturally has a positive effect on digestion, making it also a useful herb for horses that can use some extra support due to changes in rations or stress, for example.
