    • Colic in horses is caused by the lack of water and is 11% fatal.
    • Over $100 million is spent each year on colic surgery in the U.S. alone.
  • Even only 2% dehydration in horses can affect a horse’s performance by over 50%.
  • Transporting horses and livestock has always presented a greater risk of dehydration and colic.
