Feeding turmeric

[Rachael42]

Hi all,
I want to feed turmeric for my horses joints and skin. I am aware you need to feed it with oil as it doesn’t dissolve in water but how do I do this? Do I put the powder in oil first or just add oil and powder to feed? Can it be soaked overnight? He gets fed mash which needs soaked for a few hours.
Thanks!

Never heard of mixing it with oil. I used to just put mine in and it would coat itself on the chaff/cubes.

It is so much easier to use a ready to use turmeric. I really like Equine America Xtra. Someone has given me some NAF turmeric but it is very fine and gets everywhere. I will go back to Equine America’s when it’s finished

I used to just chuck it all in the feed once a day.

I used to mix it with flax oil but it is very messy. Much easier to buy one of the branded supplements and feed mixed into the feed as it is. I just chuck a scoopful into the feed, stir and serve up!

Its a waste of time. You are better off using something proven to work like linseed which will improve feet and coat with a better impact. There is good scientific research about the amounts of turmeric you would need to feed to hit the active ingredients.
