Feeding Coconut to Animals - Horses?

[Guest guest]

I have fed my cats coconut milk and oil...they love it and makes their

coats very shiny. I give dried organic shredded coconut to my chickens

as well to keep parasites and worms away...works so far. My question

is this...has anyone tried giving any form of coconut to horses to keep

intestinal parasites/worms away? I'd really like to stop with the

chemical de-wormers.

Thoughts?

Hi Serena,

I have toyed with the idea of giving my horse coconut oil for some

time, now, and for the same reasons as you are thinking. But, the cost

is a bit much (for me) for a 1200# animal. So, here's an alternative

.. . . .

SilverLining Herbal Equine Supplements. While I can't speak for their

parasite control mix, since I'm in the process of using up an old

supply of chemical wormers, I have used a number of their formulations

for various equine conditions. My horse has NEVER looked better, nor

moved better. I can't tell you how impressed I've been with

SilverLining products. I've tried A LOT of remedies and alternative

approaches with my horse. SilverLining has done wonders. I would

highly recommend looking into their wormer supplement. I have. And,

will use it as soon as I use up what I have here.

Go to the website: thehorseteacher.net. Click on the link for

SilverLining Herbal Equine Supplements. Lots of information. If you

want to order, call: Joestes Wyatt at 580-277-0146 (Oklahoma). He

really knows his stuff and will answer any questions you might have.

Let him know that Anne Zipkes in Hot Springs, AR recommended him.

He has made a profound difference in the health of my horse.

Hope this is helpful.

Love and Laughter,

Anne
