The essential omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids and the natural antibiotic in Cavalor OilMega support the overall health of the horse. It provides a shiny coat, healthy intestinal flora and improved immunity. Additionally, a high-fat diet can also result in improved sports performance. Giving energy in the form of fat, rather than carbohydrates, helps the horse’s muscles convert energy without producing large amounts of lactate. For horses carrying out work over extended periods, or “hyperactive” horses, energy provided in the form of fat can have a beneficial effect on the energy supply during work or on the horse’s behaviour. This is because fat has a high energy density, meaning horses will become “hot” less quickly compared to when they ingest certain cereals.

The omega 3 - 6 - 9 fatty acids in the product, together with the natural antibiotic, ensure healthy intestinal flora and additional support for the immune system. This results in good digestion and a glossy coat.
Feeding horses oil such as corn oil or linseed oil is a very popular way to obtain a shiny coat or more energy. Cavalor OilMega is not just any oil; it is a combination of various vegetable oils including virgin linseed oil and soybean oil, so that an optimal ratio of omega-3 to 6 is obtained. Omega-3 and 6 are essential fatty acids. This means that the body needs these substances, but cannot make them itself.
As a result, the fatty acids must be taken via the horse’s ration. Essential fatty acids can be found in vegetable oils, nuts and cereals. Omega-6 fatty acids are mainly present in soybean oil, grains and seeds while fresh grass, linseed, olive oil and rapeseed oil are rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
Most horses today get enough omega-6 from their feed since grains processed in muesli and dry foods are rich in this fatty acid. When horses are mostly stabled they often have a lower intake of omega-3 fatty acids because there is less time in the pasture or this is impossible from a practical point of view (winter season!).
It is important that the ratio between omega-3 and omega-6 remains balanced. If the ratio between omega-3 and omega-6 is good, the horse will automatically produce sufficient omega-9. A correct ratio between omega-3 and 6 fatty acids not only has a positive effect on the immune system, but also on the horse’s overall health. An imbalance between these fatty acids can be linked to inflammation, a poor coat, reduced resistance and reduced fertility. Vitamin E is added to these oils.
Vitamin E counteracts the oxidation of fatty acids so that they can perform their functions for longer. The more fat a horse’s ration contains, the more vitamin E the horse needs. By adding this vitamin E directly to our oil, we prevent deficiencies in your horse.
Cavalor OilMega also contains a natural antibiotic. This is a balanced and patented mix of specific fatty acids (medium-chain fatty acids (C6-C12) from tropical plants) that have a positive effect on intestinal flora. They boost health and have an anti-ageing effect on the cells, increasing the horse’s immunity and reducing the energy required to protect the horse from infection. The result is a shiny coat and a healthy horse.
Cavalor OilMega must be added to the ration gradually. If large quantities of oil are ingested too quickly, horses experience bloating, excessive gas production, loss of appetite and thin manure.
Dose per horse per day:
Day 1 - 20 ml
Day 2 - 40 ml
Day 3 - 60 ml
Day 4 - 80 ml
Day 5 - 100 ml
After day 5 - 100 ml
Maximum amount per horse per day = 500 ml.
TIP: During winter, add Cavalor OilMega to the ration. It will help your horse moult and have a shiny coat again.
