A blend of unrefined soybean and coconut oil, CocosoyaTM is a very palatable oil with the digestibility of fish oil at the price of vegetable oil off the grocery store shelf. Compared with vegetable oil, CocosoyaTM is more digestible, contains the natural properties of the soybean such as Lecithin and vitamin E, and also is abundant in unsaturated essential fatty acids.
Feeding directions are as follows: As a general fat supplement - horses of average weight (1000-1200 lbs.) should be fed 4 oz per day in divided feedings (2 oz am and pm). Horses that are performing at medium to high work levels (1-5 hours of work per day) should be fed 6-8 oz per day in divided feedings. Horses can be fed at even higher levels given extreme temperatures and extra heavy workloads.
The following are reasons that CocosoyaTM is necessary in the horse’s diet:
Weight gain: when fed to horses at relatively high rates compared to the amount of work performed, CocosoyaTM oil will help in putting weight on a hard keeper horse. Oils naturally have about 3 times the calories as an equal weight of grains, or proteins. These horses should be fed at least 8 oz per day.
Energy: CocosoyaTM is high in medium chain triglycerides, which are available for use as energy by the horse right away. Horses are very efficient at using these triglycerides for energy. Thus, CocosoyaTM is an excellent supplement choice for endurance horses, racehorses, cutting horses or any other type of performance horse.
Keeping Horses Cool: fat in the diet will also keep a horse cool in hot weather in two ways. It will slow the digestion process down thereby generating less heat in the intestine. It also will slow blood sugar swings that occur when the horse eats food high in carbohydrates.
Shining the coat: CocosoyaTM will put a shine on horses very quickly. This oil contains not only essential fatty acids, which are important in hair and hoof production, but it also contains lecithin and vitamin E from the natural soybean oil. These factors add up to a beautiful coat on the horse.
When you combine the above properties of CocosoyaTM Oil, along with the price, and the extremely appetizing aroma, there is really no better fat supplement on the market today.
