ORGANIC Evening Primrose Press Cake

Gamma-linolenic acid ensures a shiny coat.

The press cake produced by cold-pressing evening primrose seeds is a high quality horse feed, used mainly for its positive effect on the immune system. Our Organic Evening Primrose Cake for Horses is made from fully ripened seeds by gently removing some of the oil through cold pressing. This very gentle cold pressing at below 40°C preserves the valuable ingredients in their best form.

The essential fatty acids in Evening Primrose Cake can have a positive effect on skin elasticity and strengthen the immune system in cases of dietary deficiency. In addition, regular feeding of pressed cake can help with moulting. The crude protein content of evening primrose cake is around 20 g per 100 g. The cake also contains around 7 g per 100 g of valuable evening primrose oil, making it an ideal supplement for horses that eat a lot. The evening primrose oil in the fat content of the press cake provides the skin with gamma-linolenic acid and helps to relieve itching, irritation and dry skin.

Feed supplement for horses and dogs

Our Evening Primrose Cake can also be used as a supplement for dogs, although acceptance may vary from dog to dog. Ideally the pellets should be mixed with dry or wet food. Be careful with black cumin cake: Black cumin oil and cake are toxic to cats because, unlike horses and dogs, they cannot completely break down the bitter substances.

All natural for people and animals

In our oil mill, we process certified organic raw materials into high quality natural products. We do not use any additives. Evening primrose (Oenothera biennis) is an inconspicuous plant that often grows on roadsides, embankments, river banks, rubble slopes and along railway lines. It probably came to Europe as a stowaway on merchant ships from America. The seeds of the evening primrose plant are particularly popular in naturopathy for their gamma-linolenic acid content.

Feeding recommendation

We recommend a daily feed of 50-100 grams per pony or horse. The pellets can be fed on their own or mixed into the feed (dry or soaked) and can also be used as a treat. For dogs we recommend 3-5g per 10kg bodyweight. Please soak the pellets before feeding and mix into the food. Start with a small amount to see if your dog tolerates the pellets. Discuss dosage with your vet if necessary. Always store in a cool, dry and tightly closed place.
