Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

The best dietary supplement for horses depends on their specific needs. For a complete and natural intake, choose a supplement rich in protein (muscle maintenance), essential fatty acids (skin and coat), fiber (digestion), and minerals (nutritional balance).

Equi'Chanvre combines all these elements with 23.19g of protein/100g, 7.01g of polyunsaturated fatty acids, and Swiss Bio certification. Recommended dosage: 100-150g/day for a 500-600kg sport horse.

Essential selection criteria:

• ✅ Organic certification (pesticide-free, GMO-free)
• ✅ Complete natural composition (no additives)
• ✅ Independent laboratory analyses
• ✅ Adapted to your horse's weight and activity level

A horse lacking energy shows several characteristic signs:

• 😴 Apathy and lethargy: the horse is less reactive, sleeps more often
• 🐎 Decreased performance: difficulty maintaining effort, slow recovery
• 🍽️ Loss of appetite: refuses feed or eats less
• 💪 Loss of muscle mass: visible weight loss, muscle wasting
• 🌾 Dull coat: rough coat, lack of shine
• 🦴 Joint stiffness: difficulty getting up, stiff gait
• 😔 Altered behavior: irritability or disinterest in environment

Nutritional solutions: A supplement rich in protein (23.19g/100g in Equi'Chanvre), balanced energy (364 kcal/100g), and minerals can help restore vitality. Consult your veterinarian if symptoms persist.

⚠️ Important: These symptoms can also indicate a pathology. Consult a veterinarian for diagnosis.

CMV (Vitamin Mineral Supplements) are given to correct deficiencies in the basic ration. Hay and cereals do not always cover 100% of mineral needs (calcium, phosphorus, magnesium) and vitamins (A, D, E).

Benefits of CMV:

• 🦴 Bone and dental strength (calcium, phosphorus)
• 💪 Optimal muscle function (magnesium)
• 🛡️ Strengthened immune system (vitamins A, E, selenium)
• ⚡ Balanced energy metabolism

Natural alternative: Equi'Chanvre naturally provides 12.56g of minerals/100g, complete proteins, and essential fatty acids, offering a comprehensive solution rather than a simple synthetic CMV. Guaranteed Swiss Bio certification.

💡 Tip: Combining a complete natural supplement like Equi'Chanvre with quality hay often covers all needs without additional CMV.

Yes, in most cases, horses benefit from a vitamin and mineral supplement. Here's why:

Situations requiring a supplement:

• 🏇 Sport horses: increased needs for B and E vitamins and minerals (intense effort)
• 👴 Senior horses: reduced absorption, increased needs to maintain muscle mass
• 🌾 Average quality hay: vitamin loss during storage (especially vitamin A)
• 🏠 Stabled horses: reduced sun exposure = vitamin D deficiency
• 🤰 Pregnant/lactating mares: doubled needs for foal growth

Complete solution: Equi'Chanvre offers a comprehensive nutritional intake: protein (23.19g/100g), minerals (12.56g/100g), essential fatty acids, and fiber. A 100% natural supplement certified Swiss Bio that covers fundamental needs.

Recommended dosage: 100-150g/day (500-600kg sport horses) or 80-120g/day (retired horses). → Use our dosage calculator

Forage (hay, grass) is the most important feed for horses. It should represent 1.5% to 2% of body weight in dry matter per day (i.e., 7.5-10kg of hay for a 500kg horse).

Why forage is essential:

• 🌾 Optimal digestion: horses are strict herbivores with a digestive system adapted to fiber
• ⏰ Ulcer prevention: chewing = salivation = natural gastric buffer
• 🧠 Behavioral well-being: occupation 12-16h/day (natural behavior)
• 🦷 Natural tooth wear: prevention of sharp edges

Nutritional hierarchy:

1. Quality forage: hay, grass (dietary basis)
2. Natural feed supplement: Equi'Chanvre (balanced protein, mineral, fatty acid intake)
3. Concentrates if necessary: cereals for horses with high energy needs

💡 Expert advice: Quality hay + Equi'Chanvre (100-150g/day) covers all nutritional needs of a leisure or retired horse, without the need for concentrates.

Equi'Chanvre is a natural feed supplement made from certified Swiss organic hemp, specially formulated for horses, cattle, sheep, and goats. It is rich in fiber, protein, essential fatty acids, minerals, and naturally contains cannabinoids such as CBD (3.62% total).

Per 100 g:

• Protein: 23.19 g
• Polyunsaturated fatty acids: 7.01 g
• Crude fiber: Rich
• Minerals: 12.56 g
• Energy: 364 kcal
• Total CBD: 3.62% (CBDa 1.87% + CBD 1.75%)

The hemp is grown organically in the canton of Vaud in Switzerland, according to Bio Suisse and European Organic standards. It is certified pesticide-free, GMO-free, and meets the strictest standards (Regulation EC 767/2009).

Hemp is the whole plant. CBD (cannabidiol) is one of the many cannabinoids naturally present in hemp. Equi'Chanvre uses the complete hemp biomass, so you benefit from all its components (fiber, protein, CBD, terpenes, etc.) and not just isolated CBD.

Sport horses (500-600 kg): 100-150 g per day

Retired horses: 80-120 g per day

Adjust according to weight, activity level, and individual needs. Start gradually over 5-7 days.

Cattle (400-700 kg): 80-150 g per day

Sheep and Goats (30-80 kg): 10-25 g per day

Mix the daily dose with the usual ration (hay, pellets, or feed). The natural palatability of hemp facilitates intake. Can be divided into 2 servings (morning and evening).

For a 500 kg horse receiving 100 g/day: approximately 30 days (1 month).

The 3 kg pack therefore lasts approximately 3 months in this case.

Equi'Chanvre is a natural feed supplement, but as a precaution, consult your veterinarian before administering to pregnant or lactating females.

Yes, plant-derived CBD is legal for animals in France and Europe, provided that the total THC level is less than 0.05%.

Equi'Chanvre complies with this regulation: Total THC < 0.05% (certified CTAEX analyses).

Hemp and CBD are on the monitored substances list of certain equestrian federations. Discontinue administration 7 days before competition as a precaution, and check the specific regulations of your federation (FEI, FFE, etc.).

• ✅ Swiss Bio Certification
• ✅ European Organic Certification (Regulation EC 767/2009)
• ✅ CTAEX Analyses (independent laboratory, Report No. 2.25.6657 - 2025)
• ✅ HPLC-MS/MS Method (high-performance chromatography)

Based on authorized nutritional claims:

• 🌾 Improves digestive transit (fiber)
• 💪 Muscle maintenance (protein)
• 🫒 Skin and coat health (fatty acids)
• 🌸 Stimulates palatability (natural terpenes)
• ⚡ Balanced energy intake
• 🧂 Mineral balance

Note: No unauthorized therapeutic claims.

Effects on palatability and transit can be visible from 7-10 days. Benefits on skin, coat, and general condition generally appear after 3-4 weeks of regular use.

Equi'Chanvre is a well-tolerated natural product. No side effects have been reported at recommended doses. If in doubt or if an unusual reaction occurs, consult your veterinarian.

No. Hemp is not psychoactive (THC < 0.05%) and does not create dependence. You can stop administration at any time without withdrawal effects.

Yes, thanks to its richness in protein (23.19g/100g) for muscle maintenance and polyunsaturated fatty acids (7.01g/100g), Equi'Chanvre naturally contributes to joint comfort and daily mobility of sport and senior horses.

Many equine osteopaths recommend integrating organic hemp into the ration to support natural joint flexibility.

Absolutely! Equi'Chanvre is particularly suitable for aged horses and senior horses. It provides:

• 🦴 Protein for maintaining muscle mass
• 🌾 Fiber for optimal digestion
• ⚡ Balanced energy for daily vitality
• 🌸 Terpenes to stimulate palatability (often reduced in seniors)

Recommended dosage for retired horses: 80-120g per day.

The natural terpenes present in Equi'Chanvre (notably α-pinene and β-pinene) are recognized for their action on respiratory comfort. Combined with fiber and nutritional richness, they contribute to the overall well-being of the respiratory system.

Note: This is not a medication. For any respiratory problem, consult your veterinarian.
