Check Your Probiotic Label for Enterococcus Faecium!🦠

Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest health threats in the world. It happens when bacteria learn how to survive antibiotics, making infections harder, or sometimes impossible, to treat. This problem affects people, animals, and the environment, which is why it is called a One Health issue.

While Enterococcus faecium SF68 itself is often characterized as safe, genomic safety evaluations of SF68 indicate that it has not acquired the important resistance determinants that are most problematic in clinical antibiotic-resistant Enterococcus strains. However, Enterococcus faecium as a species is known to be capable of acquiring and carrying antibiotic-resistance genes, especially on mobile elements like plasmids and transposons that can spread between bacteria.

Because of this, scientists are looking for ways to reduce antibiotic use. Probiotics are often suggested as one option because they can support gut health and may reduce the need for antibiotics. However, there is an important concern. Some probiotics may carry antibiotic resistance genes that bacteria can pass to one another.

Researchers in a new peer-reviewed study published in Frontiers in Veterinary Science, tested 10 popular probiotic products for dogs and cats. They examined whether the bacteria in these products resisted common antibiotics and whether they carried genes that cause antibiotic resistance. A total of 19 different antibiotic resistance genes were found across the products. Bacteria in a pet’s gut can share these resistance genes with harmful bacteria, which can make future infections in pets, and potentially in people, harder to treat.

Enterococcus faecium, a strain clinically proven to treat diarrhea, was the most frequently used probiotic species in pet products. It also carried the highest number of resistance genes and showed a higher potential risk. Some products tested showed resistance to antibiotics used in both veterinary and human medicine.

The bottom line is that probiotics are not automatically safe just because they are natural. This is one reason it may be important to rotate between different probiotic products and strains, and to avoid long-term use of strains like enterococcus faecium to help reduce the risk of spreading antibiotic resistance genes.

The researchers recommend stronger testing requirements for pet probiotics similar to those used for livestock, screening probiotic strains before they reach the market, and avoiding strains that carry resistance genes, especially those that can spread easily.

What if horse care was as natural as their own rhythm? 🌿

Holistic health means looking beyond just symptoms. Think nutrition, mindset, and environment all working together.

Your horse deserves more than quick fixes. Start small: better food, mindful movement, and love.

What’s one natural change you’ve made that your horse loved? 🐴❤️

🔶 Mesh/opening size that is too small🤏; forcing your equine to scrape their teeth🦷 across the surface to extract hay. Too small of an opening can exceed your horse’s patience level😡 or ability. Patience level 𝙖𝙡𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨 trumps ability when choosing a mesh/opening size. It may seem counter-intuitive, but 𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙧 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙖𝙡𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧👎 when it comes to slow feeding.

🔶 Filling the feeder/net too tight – This compacts and flattens the ends of the hay (instead of allowing it to protrude through the openings) regardless of the mesh/opening size or slow feed device.

🔶 Inserting intact flakes of alfalfa or grass hay that are compressed or densely baled – To ensure the ends protrude for gathering with the lips, the flakes need to be completely broken apart🌱🌱🌱.

Tip - One Size Does Not Fit All🚫
Each equine varies in patience level and ability. You may have a herd of 9 that successfully uses a particular slow feeder design and mesh/opening size, yet add a new herd member and he may experience damage to his mouth in a day.
The most appropriate slow feeder type and opening size is determined on an individual🐴 basis. ​

When offering slow fed forage to 2 or more individuals in the same enclosure, choose a mesh/opening size to accommodate the least adept or patient individual.

Slow feeder safety is important. The vast majority of incidents stem from unintentional pilot error. Eliminate or greatly reduce the possibility of injury or entanglement with these tips👉 https://www.thehaypillow.com/blogs/news/safety-tips-for-choosing-using-slow-feeders-for-horses

❤️ There will come a time...When you ride them for the last time.
When you buy their feed and cringe at the price, not knowing it’s the last bag you’ll ever buy.

When you scrub the dirt from beneath your nails, their hair from your clothes...unaware that soon, you’ll miss the mess.

When you text the vet about a mystery lameness, dreading the bill...never realizing it's the final call.

When you clean their sweat from the saddle pad, pick the wads of hair from the washing machine, and don’t think twice about the routine.

When you send their blankets off for repair, frustrated by the baseball sized holes, never imagining they won’t need it next season.

When you cancel a ride because they found the only muddy spot in a ten acre pasture and rolled until they were unrecognizable...just as they always do.

And then, the time will come when you hang up their bridle.
When you clean their halter and tuck it away into a shadowbox, a silent tribute in the hallway.

When you carefully store the tail you sent them to heaven without, waiting to turn it into something that keeps them close.
When you hold onto their worn horseshoes, knowing you’ll never hear them clinking down the barn aisle again.

It never happens the way you expect.
You always think there will be more time.
You’ll wish life had slowed down, just enough for you to be there more, to appreciate them longer.

And then, one morning, you’ll wake up...just as I did...and realize the horse that raised you is tired.
That they need you to be strong one last time.

Maybe, somewhere down the road, another horse will come along and leave their mark upon your heart.

But it won’t be them...they wove themselves into your soul...
And nothing...or no one can take that away.
