Science-Led Hindgut Genomics, Diet & Environmental System Panels​

Welcome to the EquiBiome Analytical Platform. We move beyond basic microbiome screening to deliver total system alignment—mapping your horse’s hindgut 16S bacterial DNA directly against forage substrate chemistry, pasture soil ecology, and bucket feed starch thresholds.

Whether you are managing an elite performance horse, investigating unexplained gas colic, or navigating complex metabolic conditions like EMS and laminitis, our audits isolate the precise biological mechanisms driving hindgut fermentation.​​

How to Choose Your Diagnostic Tier

• Core Microbiome Kit (£150): Baseline 16S genomic profiling to screen hindgut alpha-diversity, beneficial fiber-degrading populations, and mucosal barrier integrity.

• Elite Event Horse Microbiome Test (£155.00) - Measures the energy produced by the microbial community and the expected performance output. Mapped against a biobank of elite event horses. 

• Feed & Microbiome Systems Panel (£210): Combines 16S hindgut DNA sequencing with digital nutritive value of feed and our UK Soil Bank Library to identify starch bypass risks and forage friction.

• Ultimate Tri-Lab Alignment Panel (£599): The complete 4-in-1 input/output system audit. Physically sequences Hindgut DNA, Pasture Soil & Grass, and Forage Chemistry alongside a bucket feed audit for total bio systems precision.

• Test Update £50: If you have ever had a microbiome test done by EquiBiome, we can update the report to the Elite Event Horse or Race Horse Report. We can also include the Feed and Microbiome Systems Profile. ​

Precision Management First:

We do not believe in blind supplementation. Every horse's microbial chassis is unique. By running these analyses before modifying your horse’s ration or supplement stack, you ensure every dietary change is targeted, non-conflicting, and backed by hard genomic data.
