Organic hemp seed pellets are produced when oil is pressed from hemp seeds. They’re packed with essential nutrients and:
Hemp Seed Pellets for Horses – 100% Natural & Full of Essential Nutrients
SPARROW CannaHorse® Organic Hemp Seed Pellets are naturally rich in essential amino acids, fatty acids, proteins, minerals, vitamins, and trace elements, and contain high levels of omega fatty acids, “complete” proteins, and high-quality plant-based fiber. They also contain highly digestible fiber. The pellets are easy to digest, support nutrient absorption, and enhance mental focus.
Unlike hemp leaves and hemp flowers, hemp seeds and their products contain virtually no THC, CBD, or other cannabinoids. The hemp seed pellets therefore have no intoxicating effect and do not make you “high.”
The organic hemp seed pellets are proven to be very palatable and are readily eaten even by picky horses.
They support the immune system, metabolism, muscle development, and stamina & endurance. In addition, the natural dietary fiber supports digestion and the gastrointestinal tract. They are easily digestible, support nutrient absorption, and enhance mental focus. The fatty acids in the organic hemp seed pellets help promote healthy skin and a shiny coat.
Gamma-Linolenic Acid
Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) is one of the most valuable fatty acids for supporting the immune system. It is found primarily in breast milk. Hemp is one of the very few natural sources of GLA. When consumed in sufficient quantities, GLA can significantly improve the appearance of the skin and coat. In addition, GLA significantly boosts metabolic processes, which can contribute to a healthy hormonal balance.
A GLA deficiency can lead to various problems, such as premature aging, as well as digestive and skin issues. That is why it is important to provide your pet with enough hemp seed pellets—preferably daily.
Hemp seed pellets also contain vitamin E and vitamin A (carotene). These are antioxidants that support the immune system in combating damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals occur when the horse is exposed to toxins from vaccines, chemicals, pesticides, processed foods, and environmental pollution. They cause oxidative stress in the horse’s body and damage cells, proteins, and DNA. Antioxidants help keep free radicals in check, thereby promoting health.
Additional Benefits at a Glance
- Excellent source of linoleic acid: Hemp seed pellets contain a high proportion of the essential omega-6 fatty acid known as linoleic acid (LA). Linoleic acid is a polyunsaturated fatty acid and is the most important omega-6 fatty acid for animals, as it is used to produce other omega-6 fatty acids. Since animals cannot produce these on their own, they must obtain them through their diet. Linoleic acid is also particularly important for the health of horses’ skin and coat, as it helps the skin retain moisture.
- Highly digestible: The hemp plant is rich in fiber. This is good news for horses, especially those with digestive issues who already have a hard time extracting nutrients from their food and digesting them.
- Contains valuable protein: Hemp contains more protein than any other plant-based source, with the exception of soy. However, hemp is a far better choice than soy, as there are significant issues with feeding soy to animals, including food intolerances. Hemp can contain up to 33g of protein per 100g of seeds!
- Packed with vitamins and antioxidants: Hemp contains the minerals calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc; vitamin E; B vitamins (including folic acid); and a variety of antioxidants. Hemp is also the only known plant-based food source that provides vitamin D3.
- Supports the gastrointestinal tract: Hemp provides beneficial dietary fiber that can help remove toxins from the gastrointestinal tract and regulate the digestive process.
- Support for heart health: Studies in animals and humans have shown that hemp seeds, due to their content of plant fibers, proteins, and healthy fats, can help promote a healthy cardiovascular system.
The organic hemp pellets are made from 100% hemp nuts and contain no additives or fillers. The pellets are a byproduct of hemp seed oil production.
They support the immune system, metabolism, digestion, muscle building, and stamina & endurance. In addition, the natural dietary fiber supports digestion and the gastrointestinal tract. They are easily digestible, aid in nutrient absorption, and enhance mental focus. The fatty acids in the organic hemp seed pellets help promote healthy skin and a shiny coat.
