Cavalor OilMega makes for a healthy horse from the inside out. The omega 3 - 6 - 9 fatty acids in the product, together with the natural antibiotic, ensure healthy intestinal flora and additional support for the immune system. This results in good digestion and a glossy coat.
Recommended UseThe essential omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids and the natural antibiotic in Cavalor OilMega support the overall health of the horse.
It provides a shiny coat, healthy intestinal flora and improved immunity. Additionally, a high-fat diet can also result in improved sports performance. Giving energy in the form of fat, rather than carbohydrates, helps the horse’s muscles convert energy without producing large amounts of lactate.
For horses carrying out work over extended periods, or “hyperactive'' horses, energy provided in the form of fat can have a beneficial effect on the energy supply during work or on the horse’s behaviour.
This is because fat has a high energy density, meaning horses will become “hot'' less quickly compared to when they ingest certain cereals.
Product Properties - Key IngredientsFeeding horses oil such as corn oil or linseed oil is a very popular way to obtain a shiny coat or more energy. Cavalor OilMega is not just any oil; it is a combination of various vegetable oils including linseed oil and soybean oil, so that an optimal ratio of omega-3 to 6 is obtained.
Omega-3 and 6 are essential fatty acids. This means that the body needs these substances, but cannot make them itself. As a result, the fatty acids must be taken via the horse’s ration. Essential fatty acids can be found in vegetable oils, nuts and cereals. Omega-6 fatty acids are mainly present in soybean oil, grains and seeds while fresh grass, linseed, olive oil and rapeseed oil are rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
Most horses today get enough omega-6 from their feed since grains processed in muesli and dry foods are rich in this fatty acid. When horses are mostly stabled they often have a lower intake of omega-3 fatty acids because there is less time in the pasture or this is impossible from a practical point of view (winter season!).
It is important that the ratio between omega-3 and omega-6 remains balanced. If the ratio between omega-3 and omega-6 is good, the horse will automatically produce sufficient omega-9. A correct ratio between omega-3 and 6 fatty acids not only has a positive effect on the immune system, but also on the horse’s overall health.
An imbalance between these fatty acids can be linked to inflammation, a poor coat, reduced resistance and reduced fertility. Vitamin E is added to these oils. Vitamin E counteracts the oxidation of fatty acids so that they can perform their functions for longer. The more fat a horse’s ration contains, the more vitamin E the horse needs. By adding this vitamin E directly to our oil, we prevent deficiencies in your horse. Cavalor OilMega also contains a natural antibiotic.
This is a balanced and patented mix of specific fatty acids (medium chain fatty acids (C6-C12) from tropical plants) that have a positive effect on intestinal flora. They boost health and have an anti-ageing effect on the cells, increasing the horse’s immunity and reducing the energy required to protect the horse from infection. The result is a shiny coat and a healthy horse.

Additional Product Information Why Oil?Scientific research has shown that a diet rich in healthy omega fatty acids can improve the general well being of the horse. Within the first few weeks of application horses commonly develop a healthy and shiny coat with a mirror like finish
A diet higher in fat can also improve the performance of horses that engage in long-duration exercise, such as that seen in eventing, dressage, and endurance riding.
Fat is the fuel for slow and sustained power while starches are the fuel for quick and short duration power.
The diet of a competition horse must be an appropriate blend of both types of fuel for the best performance in their respective discipline.
Oil is also a very energy dense supplement that one can add to a horse’s diet in order to pack on the weight.
A single 250ml cup of oil can contain enough calories to meet up to 10% of an average horse’s daily energy requirements.
For comparison, it takes 1 - 1.5 kgs of hay to meet the same calorie amount.
Unfortunately, horses cannot consume large amounts of oil and it is generally recommended that horses only be fed a diet of 3-8% total fat by weight per day.
To best take advantage of fat supplementation in a horse’s diet, it is best to focus on small amounts of high quality fats rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
Not just another oil!Cavalor Oilmega contains a specific blend of oils high in omega-3 fatty acids to best complement the diet of most horses as well as a patented product called Natural Antibiotics (NAB).
NAB is a composition of medium chain fatty acids extracted from tropical plants. NAB has been shown to have a proliferative effect on the intestinal flora of the horse, which improves the feed digestibility and helps stimulate the immune system.
Cavalor Oilmega is also a great source of vitamin E as a naturally occurring nutrient in this oil blend.
Vitamin E helps delay the oxidation of fatty acids, which improves shelf-life without synthetic preservatives.
Vitamin E is also critical for muscle development and repair, making Cavalor® Oilmega a crucial addition to the diet of any hard-working horses.
The high levels of vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acids work together to create the ultimate support for the bodies anti-inflammatory processes making Cavalor Oilmega critical for any horses suffering from poor joint mobility, gut irritation, poor muscle recovery, or allergies.
