Vegetable Oils

Natural support for digestive problems

Digestion is one of the most sensitive areas in horses. Even minor imbalances can cause restlessness, flatulence, or even colic. If a horse starts lying down frequently, looking restlessly at its abdomen, or showing signs of pain, it's a serious warning sign: colic. In such situations, every minute counts – call the vet immediately!

Many horse owners, in addition to veterinary treatment, look for ways to gently support their horse's digestive tract. For centuries, the power of selected plant oils has been used to support gastrointestinal well-being and contribute to the relaxation of the digestive system.

Overview of proven oils

• Linseed oil – the gentle classic: Rich in valuable omega-3 fatty acids, linseed oil supports the intestinal flora and the smooth passage of feed. At the same time, it promotes skin and coat health and is well tolerated.
• Anise oil – soothing for flatulence: Anise oil has antispasmodic and carminative effects, ideal for horses that are sensitive to gas formation. It gives the feed a pleasant sweet and spicy scent.
• Fennel oil – relaxing and balancing: Fennel oil has a calming effect on the stomach and intestines, can counteract cramp-like discomfort, and promotes feed intake with its mild taste.
• Cumin oil – powerful support: Cumin oil helps with feelings of fullness and digestive cramps, activates intestinal activity, and is particularly useful for sluggish digestion. Its intense aroma makes it a strong helper.
• Cinnamon oil – warming and harmonizing: Cinnamon oil helps to relieve tension in the abdominal area and harmonizes digestion. Its sweet and spicy aroma is often used in manger feed.
• Peppermint oil – refreshing and calming: Peppermint oil has a cooling and calming effect on the stomach, relieves flatulence and cramps, and supports horses in stressful situations. Its fresh aroma promotes feed acceptance.

Whether linseed oil to stabilize the intestinal environment, anise and fennel to calm flatulence, caraway to activate digestion, cinnamon to harmonize, or peppermint to soothe the stomach – each oil brings its unique properties.
