ORGANIC Milk Thistle Press Cake

Milk Thistle is a classic and traditional bitter herb that was cultivated as a 'liver plant' in medieval monastery gardens. It is rich in beneficial substances such as silymarin, the active ingredient in milk thistle, a natural complex of three flavono-lignans.

Milk thistle press cake as a healthy horse feed

The press cake produced from the cold pressing of milk thistle seeds (Silybum marianum L.) is a high quality and beneficial feed for horses. It is particularly well known for its detoxifying properties when used to feed horses with liver disease and for detoxification in general. Our Organic Milk Thistle Cake is obtained from the fully ripened seeds of the milk thistle by partial de-oiling through cold pressing. Pressing at temperatures below 40°C preserves the valuable ingredients in their best form. The press cake is free from additives and contains valuable unsaturated fatty acids.

The crude protein content of Milk Thistle Cake is around 19 g per 100 g. The press cake also contains around 8 g per 100 g of valuable Milk Thistle Oil, making it an ideal supplement for horses that eat a lot. The omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid content of Milk Thistle Cake supports lipid metabolism, and the bitter compounds in Milk Thistle Cake can have a positive effect on liver function and regeneration in the case of feed-related deficiencies. In addition, regular feeding can support normal shedding and shine of the horse's coat. It also promotes bile flow and accelerates regeneration after bacterial or viral disease. Milk Thistle can also support hoof growth.

Also suitable for dogs

Our milk thistle pellets can also be used as a dietary supplement for dogs, although acceptance may vary from dog to dog as milk thistle pellets have a slightly bitter taste by nature. Ideally the pellets should be mixed with dry or wet food.

Be careful with black seed cake: Black seed oil and cake are poisonous to cats because, unlike horses and dogs, they cannot break down the bitter substances completely.

All natural for people and animals

Our oil mill processes raw materials from certified organic farms into high quality natural products. We do not add any additives.

Feeding recommendation

We recommend a daily feeding of 50-100g per pony or horse. The pellets can be fed on their own or mixed into the feed and can also be used as a horse treat. For dogs we recommend 3-5g per 10kg body weight. 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.
