Start with the gut.
A detailed read on your horse's hindgut — and what it means for condition, performance, and digestive health.
Explore ATLASYou know when something's off with your horse. We map the microbiome behind digestion, immunity, and performance to turn that instinct into evidence.
There are trillions of bacteria living in your horse's hindgut, and they run more of the show than most people realize — breaking down feed for energy, keeping inflammation under control, and holding the gut lining together.
That's the world we work in. We map what's happening in there, tell you what it means in plain terms, and track how it shifts over time — so you're making decisions based on data, not a hunch.
Your horse doesn't digest hay on its own — gut bacteria break down the fibre and turn it into usable energy. When that balance is off, you tend to see it first in weight and condition.
A healthy gut lining keeps bacteria and toxins where they belong. When the microbiome is out of balance, that barrier weakens, and inflammation is often the first sign.
Steady gut function helps keep blood sugar and muscle recovery on track. It's a big part of why some horses bounce back faster than others.
Built by equine microbiome researchers
From first mapping the gut to keeping an eye on how it changes over time.
Software or testing — most companies do one. Metaboly does both, built to work together.
The equine gut health laboratory — gut and microbiome mapping, health screening, and exposure analysis, brought into the same system that tracks the horse over time.
Records, care teams, health tracking, and lab integration — from a single horse to a full barn operation, built around the science.
Metaboly is Canada's only private equine laboratory. We measure what's actually going on inside your horse, so you and your vet can act earlier and guess less.
