Feeding a horse pig oil?

[Kitchingman]

Just wondered if anyone knew what pig oil was made of?

My friend accidently mixed some in my horses feed thinking it was water when she fed one morning. I was mortified when I found out, it doesn't seem to have bothered my horse but I am slighly concered and wondered what it was made of?

It's white mineral oil - basically baby oil without any additions.

Won't taste nice but won't do him any harm - he can't digest or absorb it (bit like feeding parrafin oil, which used to be commonly feed in the olden days to aid gut motility)
