Bloated Belly

[competitiondiva]

Posted this in NL2 but no replies!! So thought I'd try you knowledgeable peeps!!

Story is:

Yearling warmblood cross, getting bloated belly... out 24/7 on meadow grasses, wormed to date from birth with the correct products, no worms....

Belly goes from reasonable to large bloat.... He's on one feed a day of pony nuts and equijewel (as he was ribby too this has helped with regard to that)

He's not shown any colic signs and is healthy in himself, eats well and faeces aren't loose/too firm.

Should I try..... Probiotic/prebiotic? Brewers yeast? or anything else? Just don't want his belly getting quite so bloated!

I would say it sound like grass bloat belly, they all can get when out at grass.

Does it go down when/if he comes in off the grass? I would not worry too much and to feed a pre/pro biotic definately wont do any harm.

Yearlings tend to have what looks like 'pot-bellies' so i wouldnt worry at all Sounds like you are doing everything right.
