CHIA FOR HORSES
Research on Chia and Horses
During the summer months, a field trial was conducted with four horses, all of which had shown mosquito hypersensitivity (summer itch). Two of the horses were fed two cups of chia seeds as a supplement to the normal feed ration. All four horses were trained and fed on a similar basis, except for the chia supplement.
Result: The two horses that received the chia supplement did not exhibit mosquito hypersensitivity. They showed better skin condition, improvement of dermatitis and lower allergy to insect bites.
