Distinctive compositional characteristics:

High content of polyunsaturated fatty acids (75%): Among the vegetable oils richest in essential fatty acids (EFAs), which are fundamental because they are not synthesized by the equine organism.

Perfect balance of Omega 3 and Omega 6: The 1:3 ratio is optimal for horses. An excess of Omega 6 compared to Omega 3 promotes inflammation; our oil maintains an ideal natural balance for anti-inflammatory, cardiovascular, and neurological effects.

Rich in natural Vitamin E (120mg/100g): Powerful antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative stress, supports the immune system, fertility, and muscle health. Particularly important for sport horses and elderly horses.

Free from phytocannabinoids (CBD, THC): The oil is extracted exclusively from seeds, naturally free of cannabinoids present in flowers/leaves. 0% CBD, 0% THC guaranteed. Safe for horses in sports competition.

Origin of raw materials: Italian hemp seeds grown and selected by CanaPuglia. Supply chain controlled from seed to finished product.

Processing: Mechanical cold pressing (<40°C) without chemical solvents. Delicate process preserves vitamins, antioxidants, and heat-sensitive fatty acids.

Purity: Free from GMOs, pesticides, heavy metals, additives, preservatives, colorants. Only pure hemp seed oil.

Product classification: Natural equine dietary supplement. Not a complete feed. To be integrated into a balanced diet. Does not replace basic feed. For optimal use, consult a veterinarian or equine nutritionist.

Sports regulations compatibility: Complies with FEI (International Equestrian Federation) regulations and national anti-doping regulations. Free of prohibited substances.

Traceability: Fully traceable supply chain: from the cultivation of Italian hemp seeds to CanaPuglia pressing and packaging.

SUGGESTED DOSAGE (to be integrated into the usual diet):

Adult horse 500kg: 30ml/day (approx. 2 tablespoons)

Sport horse intense activity: 50-100ml/day

Weaned foal up to 2 years: 15-30ml/day

Pregnant mare (last 3 months gestation): 50-80ml/day

Lactating mare: 80-100ml/day

Breeding stallion: 50-80ml/day

Senior horse (>15 years): 30-50ml/day

Pony 250-300kg: 15-20ml/day

Adult donkey 200-250kg: 15ml/day

General principle: Approximately 0.5-1ml per 10kg of body weight. Adjust dosage based on physical condition, activity, and goals.

METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION:

Pour directly onto feed (grains, flakes, pellets, muesli) or hay. Mix thoroughly to ensure complete and uniform intake. The oil makes the ration more palatable and facilitates intake even in horses with poor appetite or picky eaters.

When to administer: Preferably divide the daily dose into 2 administrations (morning and evening) to improve intestinal absorption and distribute energy intake. Integrate into the usual ration without the need for drastic changes to feeding times.

DURATION OF SUPPLEMENTATION:

Minimum 30 days to observe the first visible benefits (shinier coat, improved energy, appetite).

60-90 days for complete and consolidated benefits on joints, athletic performance, behavior, fertility.

Continuous use recommended: To maintain benefits over time, consistent supplementation is recommended. The oil is not a quick-acting drug but a supplement that optimizes health and well-being in the medium to long term.

FOOD PAIRINGS:

Compatible with all types of feed: Hay, grass, pellets, flakes, grains, muesli, alfalfa. It integrates perfectly without the need to upset the usual diet.

Suggested cereal reduction: The oil provides concentrated energy (about double that of cereals per equal weight). When supplementing with oil, you can reduce the amount of cereals in the ration while maintaining the same energy intake. Example: a 500kg horse receiving 3kg cereals/day + 30ml oil → reduce cereals to 2-2.5kg. This benefits intestinal health (less fermentable starch = less risk of colic/acidosis).

Combination with other supplements: Compatible with most supplements (vitamins, minerals, glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM, probiotics). In fact, it improves the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K).

SPECIFIC USE TIPS:

For sport horses: Administer a higher dose (50-100ml) during periods of intense training and competitive season. Do not administer an extra dose immediately before exercise/competition (it can cause a feeling of heaviness). Always divide into 2 administrations morning/evening, spaced out.

For pregnant mares: Gradually increase the dose in the last 3 months of gestation (50-80ml/day) when energy requirements increase but appetite tends to decrease due to fetal bulk. Omega 3s support fetal neurological development. Continue high dose (80-100ml) throughout lactation to enrich mare's milk.

For foals: Start supplementation after weaning (6-8 months) with 15ml/day, gradually increasing to 30ml around 2 years. Supports harmonious growth, brain development, immune system. Do not administer to foals still suckling (they get omega 3/6 from mare's milk if mare is supplemented).

For senior horses: A dose of 30-50ml/day helps joint mobility, coat quality (often dull in old age), digestive efficiency (reduced in seniors), immune system. Benefits are particularly visible after 60-90 days of continuous use.

STORAGE AFTER OPENING:

Store the container in a cool place, ideally in a refrigerator for 5L containers. For 25L containers, if the refrigerator is not large enough, store in a cool cellar/storage room (<15°C) away from light.

Always seal the cap tightly after each use to minimize contact with oxygen (the main cause of oil oxidation).

For large containers (25L) used slowly, consider transferring to smaller bottles to reduce air in the main container.

COMPETING HORSES:

Product totally free of phytocannabinoids (0% CBD, 0% THC), therefore safe for horses undergoing anti-doping controls in national and international competitions. Complies with FEI regulations. Used by professional competition stables without any problems. Laboratory analyses confirming absence of cannabinoids available upon request.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This product is a natural food supplement, not a complete feed or a drug. It does not replace a balanced diet or veterinary care. For personalized feeding plans or specific problems, always consult a qualified veterinarian or equine nutritionist.

L'olio di canapa è sicuro per cavalli in competizione sportiva?

Sì, assolutamente sicuro. Il nostro olio è totalmente privo di fitocannabinoidi (0% CBD, 0% THC) perché estratto esclusivamente da semi, naturalmente privi di cannabinoidi presenti invece in fiori e foglie. Conforme ai regolamenti FEI (Federazione Equestre Internazionale) e normative anti-doping nazionali. Utilizzato regolarmente da scuderie agonistiche professionali senza alcun problema ai controlli. Analisi di laboratorio attestanti assenza cannabinoidi disponibili su richiesta per documentazione federale.

Quanto tempo serve per vedere i primi risultati?

I primi benefici visibili compaiono dopo 30-40 giorni di integrazione regolare e costante: manto notevolmente più lucido e setoso, incremento energia e vitalità, appetito migliorato. Benefici completi e consolidati su articolazioni, performance sportive, comportamento, fertilità richiedono 60-90 giorni di uso continuativo. La costanza è fondamentale: l'olio non è un farmaco ad azione immediata ma un integratore che ottimizza salute progressivamente nel tempo.

Posso somministrare l'olio insieme ad altri integratori che già do al mio cavallo?

Sì, l'olio di canapa è compatibile con la stragrande maggioranza degli integratori comunemente utilizzati (vitamine, minerali, glucosamina, condroitina, MSM, acido ialuronico, probiotici, prebiotici). Anzi, l'olio migliora l'assorbimento intestinale delle vitamine liposolubili (A, D, E, K) che richiedono grassi per essere assimilate. In caso di terapie veterinarie farmacologiche specifiche in corso (es. anticoagulanti, preparazione a chirurgia), consultare preventivamente il veterinario curante per sicurezza.

Il mio cavallo è molto schizzinoso con il cibo, accetterà l'olio?

La stragrande maggioranza dei cavalli accetta volentieri l'olio mescolato al mangime abituale. Ha un profumo leggermente nocciolato piacevole e rende la razione più appetibile e gustosa. Se il cavallo inizialmente mostra riluttanza: iniziare con dose minima (5-10ml), mescolare molto bene con l'alimento più gradito (es. fioccati dolci, carruba, melassa), aumentare dose gradualmente man mano che si abitua. Raramente i cavalli rifiutano completamente dopo periodo di abitudine (3-5 giorni).

Dopo aver aperto la tanica, quanto tempo dura l'olio mantenendo le proprietà?

Se conservato correttamente (luogo fresco, idealmente frigorifero, tappo sempre chiuso ermeticamente dopo uso), l'olio mantiene qualità ottimale per 3-4 mesi dopo apertura. Verificare sempre odore prima di ogni somministrazione: se profumo diventa rancido, pungente o sgradevole, non utilizzare (segno ossidazione avanzata). Per questo motivo, tanica 5L è preferibile per proprietari con 1-2 cavalli (consumo entro shelf life ottimale), mentre tanica 25L è ideale per scuderie con consumo rapido o possibilità travaso in contenitori più piccoli.

Posso sostituire completamente i cereali della razione con l'olio?

No, l'olio è un integratore energetico e fonte di acidi grassi essenziali, non un mangime completo. Non fornisce proteine, carboidrati complessi, vitamine, minerali nelle quantità necessarie. Va sempre affiancato a una alimentazione bilanciata di base (fieno/erba di qualità, pellet/fioccati bilanciati). Tuttavia, l'olio permette riduzione significativa dei cereali nella razione: fornisce energia concentrata (doppia rispetto a cereali a parità di peso) senza amido fermentabile. Esempio: cavallo che riceve 3kg cereali/giorno + 30ml olio → ridurre cereali a 2-2,5kg = stessa energia totale ma meno stress intestinale.

L'olio è indicato per cavalli con sindrome metabolica o insulino-resistenza?

Sì, è una delle migliori fonti energetiche per cavalli con problematiche metaboliche. Zero carboidrati e zero zuccheri, quindi non provoca picchi glicemici né sovraccarica metabolismo insulinico. Fornisce energia "pulita" e stabile. Permette riduzione drastica di cereali e mangimi ricchi di amido (principali responsabili scompensi glicemici), beneficiando controllo glicemia e peso corporeo. Sempre integrare all'interno di un piano alimentare completo concordato con veterinario specializzato in nutrizione equina.

L'olio di canapa va bene anche per pony, asini, muli?

Sì, benefici sono identici. Dosaggio va adattato proporzionalmente al peso corporeo. Pony 250-300kg: 15-20ml/giorno. Asino adulto 200-250kg: 15ml/giorno. Mulo 400-450kg: 25-30ml/giorno. Principio generale: circa 0,5-1ml olio per ogni 10kg di peso corporeo. Tutti i benefici su manto, articolazioni, digestione, comportamento si applicano anche a questi equidi.

Posso dare l'olio a fattrici durante l'allattamento?

Assolutamente sì, è fortemente consigliato e benefico. Omega 3 e 6 arricchiscono significativamente il latte materno: studi dimostrano aumento del contenuto di grassi di qualità nel latte (periodo 10-60 giorni di allattamento) senza alterare proteine e solidi totali. Il puledro lattante beneficia indirettamente ricevendo acidi grassi essenziali attraverso il latte, favorendo sviluppo cerebrale, visivo, immunitario. Dose consigliata fattrice in allattamento: 80-100ml/giorno. Il puledro stesso non necessita integrazione diretta fino a svezzamento.

Sono un rivenditore / gestisco una scuderia professionale: offrite condizioni commerciali B2B?
