Wild Yam Root - Feed Ingredient

Wild yam root is derived from various species of the Dioscorea genus, most commonly Dioscorea villosa, native to North America. The dried and ground root is traditionally used in herbal medicine and is known for containing compounds such as diosgenin, a plant-derived steroidal saponin.

In equine nutrition, wild yam root may be included in herbal supplement blends aimed at supporting comfort, hormonal balance, or gastrointestinal health, although its use in horses is relatively limited and not standardized.

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