Feeding and background
Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is one of the best-known traditional herbs in both human and equine herbal feeding. In horses it is fed as botanical support for normal liver function as part of a sensible overall routine.
Traditional use
Milk thistle seed has a long history in herbal practice. Owners often choose it seasonally, or after a period of heavier feeding or medication under veterinary direction, as gentle nutritional support alongside forage, turnout and clean water.
Feeding notes
Milk thistle is usually fed as a milled seed or powder mixed into damp feed. It is commonly fed as a course of several weeks rather than continuously. Introduce it gradually and keep the rest of the diet steady so you can see how your horse settles.
Things to check first
Milk thistle is a nutritional supplement, not a treatment or a detox programme. If your vet has diagnosed a liver issue, follow their advice and tell them about any supplement you are feeding. Speak to your vet before introducing new supplements, especially if your horse is pregnant, competing, taking medication or has a diagnosed condition. If you compete, check current rules with your governing body.
