Protect your horse's legs and feathers from wet and muddy conditions with Battles Pig Oil 1 Litre.
Battles Pig Oil is a traditional mineral-based skin conditioning oil originally formulated for livestock. It creates a waterproof barrier that helps prevent mud and moisture from sitting directly against the skin, making it particularly popular with owners of heavy horses, cobs and other feathered breeds.
The oily coating can help reduce the amount of mud that sticks to feathers and lower legs during wet winter weather, while also helping to keep the skin and coat conditioned.
Battles Pig Oil can also be used as a mane and tail conditioner, helping keep hair smooth, glossy and easier to manage.
The product contains no sulphur. If sulphur is required for a particular application, it can be mixed separately with Pig Oil according to appropriate guidance. Battles Pig Oil itself should not be described as a sulphur treatment.
The convenient 1 litre bottle is ideal for regular use around the yard, while larger 4.5 litre and 22.5 litre sizes are available for busy yards and livestock keepers.
