THE IMPACT OF EQUIDGEL SUPPLEMENTATION ON EQUINE HINDGUT MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES, This research examined how EquidGel, a high-fibre nutritional supplement, influences the microbial composition and fermentation efficiency in the equine hindgut. The study compared two feed types (grass pellets and cube pellets) with and without EquidGel over 24 and 48 hours. Microbial diversity was assessed using Shannon and Simpson indices, with 16S rRNA gene analysis. Results showed that EquidGel improved microbial diversity, enhanced fermentation, and positively impacted key microbial phyla, indicating potential benefits for equine digestive health and nutrient utilization.
