@madbarnequine: As food continues its journey through the horse’s digestive system, it enters the small colon. In the small colon, moisture is drawn from the digesta, forming solid fecal balls. This segmented structure slows down the movement of material, allowing for reabsorption of water. Once the fecal matter is formed, it moves to the rectum, where it accumulate. Pressure in this area signals the brain to release the manure. This marks the final step in the horse's digestive process. #EquineHealth #HorseDigestiveSystem #HorseNutrition #GutHealth
