L'huile d'olive bon pour les chevaux ?!

Vrai. Par contre c'est cher... tu peux donner une bonne huile végétale - mais évite d'huile de mais.

je n'ai pas vu cette huile dans la littérature. ll est conseillé d'utiliser canola, soya ou végétale. Pourtant en Europe, il utilise l'huile de maïs et ce n,est pas recommandé dans ce que j'ai comme référence ?

mais je peux lui donner dans sa ration journaliere ?

L'huile de mais contient beaucoup de nitrates.
Le mieux c'est l'huile de tournesol.

Relation to cancer
At least one study in mice has shown that consuming high amounts of polyunsaturated fat (but not monounsaturated fat) may increase the risk of metastasis in cancer patients. [1]. The researchers found that linoleic acid in polyunsaturated fats produced increasing membrane phase separation, and thereby increased adherence of circulating tumor cells to blood vessel walls and remote organs. According to the report 'The new findings support earlier evidence from other research that consuming high amounts of polyunsaturated fat may increase the risk of cancer spreading'. The propensity for polyunsaturated fats to oxidize is another possible risk factor,[1] [2] [7] [8]. This leads to the generation of free radicals and eventually to rancidity. Studies have shown that low dosages of Coenzyme Q10 reduce this oxidation, and a combination of a diet rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids and Coenzyme Q10 supplementation leads to a longer lifespan in rats[9]. Studies on animals have shown a link between polyunsaturated fat and the incidence of tumours. In some of these studies the incidence of tumours increased with increasing intake of polyunsaturated fat, up to about 5% of total energy, near to the middle of the current dietary intake in humans. However, studies in humans have found little evidence of an association between polyunsaturated fat and the risk of cancer.[citation needed] It is advised that the level of polyunsaturated fats in the diet be regulated if Coenzyme Q10 supplements are not being taken. However, even without Coenzyme Q10 supplementation, the effect on health might be more beneficial than harmful in terms of its effect on reducing cholesterol levels.

L'huile canola , soya et végétale sont les huiles recommandées pour les chevaux (18 litres, 18$ chez Costco) très abordable comparativement à l'épicerie. Pour les humains c,est autre chose.
