The shape of stool is a function of the amount of fibre in your diet and also the speed that the food passes through the small and large intestine. The longer it takes the more water is reabsorbed by intestinal lining and put back into body circulation. Thorough dewatering results in hard small stool. Longer stool has a lot more water in it and transits quickly. Fiber provides bulk and more water retaining ability. Long soft stools are better than small hard ones, because it provides less strain on the colon and anus, and avoids constipation. Also, there is small increase in colonic disease when stool spends a lot of time in the large intestine. Some bacterial byroducts are not good. (but the majority are good, e.g. that is our source of vitamin K etc.). increased cancer rates have been observed in people who do not get enough liquids and roughage (fiber) in their diets.

What should horses droppings be like?
It should look like a big cone-shaped pile containing large, soft round (cylindrical shaped) pellets. The feces should also contain small bits of plant material in it (like tiny little sticks), and be a dark brown color on the outside (if it's a few hours to a day old) and a yellowish green on the inside, or greenish (if fresh). In the pastures, horses will make these piles. On the road or on a trail, usually these big pellets that hit the ground will sometime break apart, and will be more spread out. Horsemen and -women call these "Road Apples."

What are the causes of eating feces?
Animal digestion is not always complete. Often, useful nutrients remain in the voided material. Obviously, this is rarely a first choice, but between coprophagia (the technical term) and starvation, there is little hesitation. Of course, a few animals are actually designed to eat their own feces. Rabbits, for example, have a sort of two-cycle digestion. The first pellets they leave are soft and green. They eat these, producing hard, dark pellets which are the true feces. If rabbits are prevented from eating their droppings (as with a wire bottomed cage), they can become ill. This really isn't much different from "chewing the cud" like cattle do, except that instead of being regurgitated from a special stomach, the partly-digested food is dropped out the back.
