FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The short answer is yes. Garlic is a powerful little plant with amazing healing, disease-inhibiting, and natural fly-repelling properties, but it needs to be fed in the proper amounts. We’ve taken care to ensure Crushed with Garlic serving recommendations fall within the National Research Council’s guidelines of how much garlic to feed horses. Click here!
Garlic provides many valuable benefits for horses, including mares. However, pregnancy introduces a host of factors and changes in the equine body. We recommend consulting with your vet to ensure the best outcome for your pregnant or lactating mare (and foal) and determine whether feeding garlic meets her specific needs.
Yes, in rare cases garlic-induced anemia can happen. It may occur quickly if your horse is snacking on wild garlic and onions growing in pastures, or slowly because of over-supplementing. Equine studies show feeding more than 0.4 grams per kilogram body weight of freeze-dried garlic can lead to Heinz body anemia in horses. That is the equivalent of feeding a 500-kilogram (1,100-pound) horse 200 or more grams per day, which is just under half a pound. That's a lot of garlic! While this amount could easily be consumed by horses eating wild garlic, it is unlikely you would feed this amount on purpose.
The garlic oil used in Redmond Rock Crushed with Garlic is 12x stronger than garlic alone and 25% more concentrated than gallium (a garlic additive manufactured in Italy). Redmond garlic is not a flavor, it’s a bioidentical garlic oil that acts as a functional food additive meant to improve animal health and performance. If you used dried garlic on your feed, it would cost 8-9 times more to reach the same potency of Redmond garlic, and dosage accuracy would be incredibly hard to achieve.
We do not recommend feeding garlic to your horse year-round. Follow appropriate Crushed with Garlic dosage instructions based on your horse’s size, and use only during fly season. (The product should be used for a maximum of 6 consecutive months.)
We always recommend using Crushed with Garlic in combination with Daily Gold. However, Redmond Rock Crushed, Crushed with Garlic, and Daily Red are all loose mineral salts targeted to meet different needs and should not be fed together.
