Pet food and feed supplemets
Most cold-pressed oils are rich in essential fatty acids (Omega-3, -6), which, like proteins, calcium, or iron, are substances that neither the human nor the animal body can produce on its own and must be obtained from food. Ideally, this would be provided naturally through a proper diet in nature. However, due to lifestyle and environmental changes associated with the modern age, affecting both humans and animals, there is an increased need for supplementation. Consider environmental pollution, improper composition of feeds, the proliferation of parasites and pathogens, the increasingly necessary medical treatments, food allergies, and autoimmune diseases. These factors can be compensated for, prevented, or improved with Omega-3 fatty acid supplementation. Omega-3 fatty acids can be provided naturally from animal sources (such as fish), but some limiting factors need to be considered. The best plant-based Omega-3 source is flaxseed, with the highest concentration found in cold-pressed flaxseed oil, because:
• There is no risk of heavy metal contamination (unlike with marine animals)
• It can be given even in cases of fish allergies
• Herbivorous animals can safely consume it (e.g., horses, rabbits)
In the formulation of the three oil blends, we use five types of oils that can be safely and effectively used for both carnivorous and herbivorous animals based on their nutritional values and properties. The oils in the blends (flaxseed oil, hemp seed oil, milk thistle seed oil, pumpkin seed oil, and black cumin seed oil) are rich in polyunsaturated and essential fatty acids, vitamin E, polyphenols, and other antioxidant components, which have beneficial effects on bones, teeth, skin, coat, the immune and nervous systems, metabolism, and cardiovascular system of animals.
Grapoila cold-pressed oils are produced from high-quality, locally and EU-sourced raw materials under strict food industry regulations (FSSC 20000) in our own facility. (All the oils used are also suitable for human consumption.) Due to their physiological effects, the cold-pressed oils used in Grapoila Animeal oil blends are among the most sought-after ingredients in the world for the food, cosmetics, and feed industries.
(Because of the black cumin seed oil content, it is not recommended for cats; a special oil blend for them will be developed soon.)
