Is it good to hear gut noises in horses?
Intestinal or gut sounds (borborygmi), are caused by the propulsive action of the equine intestines that contain gas, water and feed. These rumblings and gurgles are normal in healthy horses, and suggest proper function of the gastrointestinal tract (normal motility).
Do horses have gut sounds when Colicing?

What causes loud stomach growling?
Stomach growling occurs as food, liquid, and gas go through the stomach and small intestine. Stomach growling or rumbling is a normal part of digestion. There is nothing in the stomach to muffle these sounds so they can be noticeable. Among the causes are hunger, incomplete digestion, or indigestion.
Why is my stomach growling so loud after eating?
The walls of the gastrointestinal tract are mostly made up of muscle. When you eat, the walls contract to mix and squeeze the food through your intestines so it can be digested. This process is called peristalsis. Peristalsis is generally responsible for the rumbling sound you hear after eating.

Why does my stomach tickle on the inside?
The blood vessels surrounding your stomach and intestines constrict and the digestive muscles contract. It’s that drop in blood flow that makes you feel like winged insects are fluttering around in your stomach.
Why can I feel my heartbeat when I lay down?
