About this deal

Cold pressed canola or soybean oil or any oils that have been fortified with omega fatty acids are particularly effective. Rice bran oil and coconut oil are also good for coats. If you use a complete feed, choose one that contains ingredients like full fat soybean, sunflower seeds, and cold pressed oils. What kind of oils relax a horse?

While no studies have been done to prove the efficacy of using Pig Oil to treat feather mites, the fact that it has been around for so long and is used so widely indicates it must be effective. Lime Sulphur Dip Plan to apply the chosen treatment multiple times. Doing so will significantly increase the chances of success. Washing and topical treatments should be repeated once a week for a minimum of four weeks.Polo Equipment Polo Equipment for the Horse Saddles Polo Helmets Polo Equipment for the Player Polo Accessories More Polo Equipment for the Player Mix the oil with some sulpher powder. You can get it from Garden Centres or Matthew Burks. Make it in to a paste of the consistancy of custard and massage on to the scabs. In a few days they will be gone. To prevent mud fever, make a very thin mixture and get it right up next to the skin. The sulpher also conditions and whitens the feather (it will be yellow at first, but it does whiten it in the end) especialy useful for mares with wee stained feather. Demodex mites are more common in herds of horses and are very rarely seen in horses kept individually. Infected horses will often have a scaly texture to the affected skin, with lesions appearing most commonly around the head and eyes, progressing later on to the shoulders and sometimes the entire body. Pig oil and sulphur sounds a rather grim mix, but it’s actually a brilliant combination of products that has been used for a long, long time as a way to help prevent mud related conditions, such as mud fever, in horses. Here’s a bit about why pig oil and sulphur work so well together, and what both elements add to a mud based product.

Showing and stain prevention: Apply a thin layer of Traditional Pig Oil using a sponge to mane, tail and body to create a lustrous shine and prevent the build-up of stains. Pugh, D.G., Hu, X.P. & Hughes Bourke, K. Control of Chorioptic Mange Mites on Horses, Donkeys, and Mules; Alabama A&M & Auburn Universities. Mix them so they look like a thin custard. Any left over can be kept in a pot. I apply with a brush. As you are not blessed with hair, you will need to repeat every few days to keep the oil barrier up. Because mites also breed in the mane and tail, the bases of these should also be treated. Only the base needs to be covered and just enough to cover the area. This will kill any mites which are breeding and living in these places. This will also help sweet itch as gnats and midges tend to die in the oil and they cannot bite. For the horses with feathers I fill up an old washing up bottle, then I can squeeze it onto the skin for the feathers. For the non-hairy legs, I pour it into a spray bottle and spray the legs. Is Pig oil a mineral oil?

As mites only feed on the surface of the skin, it’s possible that they don’t experience the full effect of drugs given to the horse either orally or by injection and thus are not completely eradicated when such treatments are used. Use the wash all over the body (diluted in water as directed on the bottle), working it into the coat, then leave for 5 to 10 minutes before rinsing it off thoroughly. This should be repeated at least 3 times at intervals of approximately one week.
