A horse’s liver is similar to our own in function, it is a vital organ that processes the blood, by filtering out the toxins, before it is recycled back into the body. The liver is therefore the main filter of all things toxic which the body contracts through bacteria or other toxins. The liver also produces bile which aids digestion, and because horses do not have a gall bladder, their liver needs to perform at optimal levels to continue the production of bile.
It is therefore important for you to consider the health of your horse’s liver when certain conditions could cause complications. This can be achieved through the use of equine liver supplements and by fully understanding the factors that lead to liver dysfunction.
