Supplementary feed

Supplementary feeds are composed of two or more ingredients and are usually more concentrated in certain substances. In particular, these are trace elements or minerals. Available in the form of capsules or powders, they are used to enhance the animal’s diet. Supplementary feeds, however, are not sufficient for complete supply, but are given in addition to the complete feed, as the name suggests.

Artemisia for pets in different versions

If you want to support your pet through nutrition, you can use, for example, the supplementary feeds Artemisia Shot, Mini or Pet. Artemisia Shot is available as granules in a stick, Artemisia Pet and Mini as capsules for larger or smaller animals.

Artemisia is an annual plant. It grows to a size of over 150 centimeters as a bush in summer. Even in temperate climates, Artemisia thrives excellently. Available are more than 300 species. The subspecies used for supplementary feeds has been used as a substance in Chinese medicine for 2,000 years.

What are the ingredients of the supplementary feed Artemisia?

The research of this plant is far advanced. In the leaf tips of Artemisia there are more than 240 different plant substances of secondary rank. For example, artemisinin and other polyphenols are contained in them. The plants used for the supplementary feed belong to the genus Artemisia annua and are grown organically. The cultivation takes place in Switzerland.

In addition, harvesting and processing are done manually. Only dried leaf tips are used, which supports the high quality of the supplementary feed. Artemisia is a special cultivar that contains over one percent artemisinin. This makes these products even more valuable than the conventional Artemisia annua.

What can the Artemisia annua?

Artemisia annua contains a stable chemical peroxide called artemisinin. If iron ions are present in particularly high concentrations, for example in certain cells, artemisinin becomes unstable. It splits into two aggressive elements. These can quickly kill germs or unwanted cells, such as plasmodia or bacteria.

In this process, Artemisia supplements have several advantages:

• • They are easy to dose and ingest

• • available as granules or capsules

• • The supplement feed has a slightly sweetened coating that makes it easier to swallow and is not bitter

• • Sticks and capsules can be fed on the go

• • the plants come from organic production

• • only the dried leaf tips are used, woody elements, stems and the like are excluded

• • the special cultivation contains many physiologically important plant substances

Keep in mind that supplemental feeds should not be fed permanently on their own to provide species-appropriate nutrition for pets. They are only an enrichment of the sole feed and can enhance positive properties in combination.
