German term or phrase: freies Kotwasser

Freies Kotwasser ist für viele Pferdebesitzer ein Problem. Das braune Wasser, das bei Pferden vor und nach dem Äpfeln die Beine hinunter rinnt, sieht nicht nur unerfreulich aus. Kotwasser ist ein Zeichen, dass die Verdauung der Tiere aus der Balance geraten ist.

Does anybody know the technical term for "freies Kotwasser"?
