Saracen Gar-lick - Horse Supplements (Size: 10 kg)

Saracen Gar-Lick is a unique vitamin and mineral lick. It has been produced to deliver two main benefits to your horse. It will provide your horse with a source of key vitamins and minerals that are deficient in modern pastures and forages, which helps ensure that optimum levels of these are maintained in their daily diet. The second benefit is to provide your horse with a natural defence against insect and fly bites / irritation, reducing the need for external preparations. This is achieved by the addition of pure garlic to the lick. There are numerous examples of the use of garlic as a dietary component to aid fly control in livestock. The medicinal properties of garlic are due to a number of sulphur compounds which are formed during its digestion. These compounds including (ajoene, dithiin and diallyl sulphide) are all highly volatile and, once absorbed, enter the blood stream and are expelled through pores in the skin and through the lungs. Insects have evolved to avoid such compounds and will therefore avoid plants or animals coated with these garlic derived substances.

Although flies wont like the taste of your horse, your horse will love the taste of a Saracen Gar-Lick.
