COD LIVER OIL
This non-heating oil for
energy and mobility is high in fish Omega 3 & 6 essential oils (strictly
speaking it is only suitable for carnivores as we do not often see horses
fishing!) but it has been used for many years as an additive to equine
feeds. Any oil helps lubricate the joints of veterans of any species and
Cod Liver Oil also promotes a sleek coat and healthy skin as well as
nutritional support for bones and hooves.
Quality:
Pegasus Health Cod Liver
Oil is 100% pure and contains no heavy metals, it is important to find out
if a cheaper version does.
Feeding:
10 to 20ml (20ml is about 1
tablespoon) per 100kg bodyweight (16.2hh is about 500kg) best divided
between 2 feeds daily. Feed the lower rate for general maintenance and the
higher for pregnant or lactating mares, breeding stallions, young stock and
very hard working animals (eg. racehorses & highly competitive animals) 1Lt
