Coltsfoot - Feed Ingredient

Coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara) is a perennial herbaceous plant traditionally used in herbal medicine. The leaves and flowers are the primary parts used and contain compounds such as mucilage, flavonoids, tannins, and pyrrolizidine alkaloids. It is known for its historical use in respiratory support remedies.

In equine feed or supplement formulations, coltsfoot may be included in botanical blends aimed at supporting respiratory function, particularly in herbal preparations. It is used for its soothing effects on the respiratory tract due to its mucilage content.
