EQUIBIOME
Equibiome is the first equine dedicated laboratory service, using the latest MiSeq NGS technology to produce a snapshot of the internal microbial community.
The data produced provides horse owners with valuable insight into the diet, metabolism and energy production which together contribute to the health and performance of the horse.
Equibiome is a team of biochemists, equine microbiologists and geneticists. Their aim is to help horse owners better understand equine gut health and to take the guesswork out of what and how to feed their horses. The Equibiome Test and Report have been developed to help horse owners receive helpful insights into their horses’ gut health.
CASE STUDIES
Understanding the microbiome of the horse's hindgut is a key component in understanding the health of the gut, and therefore the whole horse.
Equibiome use cutting edge MiSeq NGS technology in order to analyse the microbiome of horses of many different breeds, ages and disciplines.
Their website features a number of case studies profiling a diverse range of horses and ponies, their presentation, what the testing was able to tell their owners and their journey from the point of receiving the results. It can be extremely difficult to know what the best diet is for each individual horse - microbiome testing removes some of the guesswork.
