What are OKAPI Wild Seeds?
OKAPI Wild Seeds is a blend of various oil-rich seeds. This mix provides high-quality fatty acids that support the horse’s metabolism without affecting blood sugar levels. They are a particularly valuable supplement during winter and coat changes, when the demand for unsaturated fatty acids is increased.
Is OKAPI Wild Seeds suitable for my horse?
OKAPI Wild Seeds are suitable for all types of horses, regardless of breed or age. They provide particularly valuable support during winter and coat changes when the need for unsaturated fatty acids is increased. Additionally, they are a healthy supplement for horses with limited access to pasture and those requiring extra fatty acids.
Can I combine OKAPI Wild Seeds with other products?
Yes, OKAPI Wild Seeds can be easily combined with other products. A proven approach is alternating OKAPI Wild Seeds, sunflower seeds with shells, and linseed daily throughout the winter. They can also be mixed with OKAPI Wild Berries and added to soaked Haycobs Sugar Light. This combination provides a diverse nutrient supply and supports the horse’s natural eating behaviour.
It is also beneficial to regularly alternate Wild Seeds with other products from the OKAPI Healthy Base range, such as OKAPI Rosehips. Rotating these products weekly or bi-weekly ensures a balanced diet and supports the horse’s natural eating behaviour.
How is OKAPI Wild Seeds fed?
OKAPI Wild Seeds should not be fed for more than four to six consecutive weeks. Regular rotation with other products from the OKAPI Healthy Base range, such as OKAPI Wild Berries, OKAPI Rosehips, and Leaves and Bark, is recommended. Switching products every one to two weeks supports a balanced diet and closely mimics the horse’s natural eating behaviour.
How is OKAPI Wild Seeds fed?
OKAPI Wild Seeds should ideally be soaked in warm water for 15 minutes before feeding to make the fatty acids optimally available. They can also be fed freshly ground, using a small electric coffee grinder for this purpose. It is important to grind the seeds fresh to avoid rancidity. The Wild Seeds can be mixed into the feed uncooked or added to a mash.
How do I calculate the correct dosage for my horse?
Horses receive 1-2 measuring scoops (1 scoop = 13 g) per day over feed; ponies should receive about half this amount, depending on their size.
- 500g sufficient for approximately 3–5 weeks
- 1kg sufficient for approximately 1–2.5 months
