MILK THISTLE SEEDS

Wholesale Bulk Orders for Animal Nutrition

Supporting Liver Health & Metabolic Function in Horses and Cattle

Milk thistle seeds

Milk thistle seeds are widely recognised in animal nutrition for their natural silymarin complex, traditionally associated with liver support and antioxidant activity. In production and performance animals, liver health underpins feed efficiency, recovery, and overall vitality.

Common reasons for inclusion in animal diets include:

General antioxidant support as part of a balanced ration

  • Supporting normal liver function during periods of metabolic stress
  • Assisting animals exposed to mycotoxins, chemical residues, or dietary challenges
  • Supporting recovery after illness, transport, or intensive production cycles

MILK THISLE SEED NUTRITIONAL APPLICATIONS

EQUINE NUTRITION

For horses, milk thistle seeds are commonly used in:

  • Performance and working horses
  • Horses on long-term medication programs
  • Animals exposed to rich pasture, drought-affected feed, or variable hay quality
  • Stud, spelling, and senior horses requiring gentle metabolic support

Milk thistle seeds can be incorporated into custom feed blends, pellets, or loose rations, or supplied as a base ingredient for further processing (milling or extraction).

CATTLE NUTRITION

For beef and dairy cattle, milk thistle seeds are used to support:

  • Liver health during feedlot finishing or high-energy rations
  • Transition periods (calving, lactation, weaning)
  • Recovery from environmental or nutritional stress
  • Overall metabolic resilience in intensive and extensive systems

Suitable for inclusion in TMRs, supplements, lick blocks, or premix formulations.
