==Description==
It is recommended to ensure that horses that have been affected by this condition are fed roughage that consists of at least 50% hay or grass. Alfalfa should preferably be eliminated from the diet. Anecdotal reports suggest that cider vinegar added in to hard feed may help to prevent the formation of enteroliths. It is also suggested to counteract the alkalinising effects of alfalfa if no alternative diet is available.
