Dandelion Root - Feed Ingredient

Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) is a perennial herbaceous plant commonly used in herbal and botanical formulations for both human and animal use. The leaves, roots, and flowers of the dandelion plant contain a variety of bioactive compounds, including flavonoids, sesquiterpene lactones, inulin, and minerals such as potassium and calcium. In equine nutrition, dandelion is typically used in dried, powdered, or extract form as part of herbal blends.

In equine feed or supplement products, dandelion is included for its functional and botanical properties. The leaves are sometimes used for their mild diuretic effects and mineral content, while the root is valued for its prebiotic fiber (inulin) and potential to support digestive processes. It is most commonly found in formulations aimed at supporting general wellness or specific organ systems, such as the liver or kidneys.

The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Dandelion Root as an ingredient.
