Uckele Cocosoya Oil Gallon

This product is fantastic for older horses that need some help gaining weight. I used this product for many years with an older Morgan gelding that I had. He was an easy keeper in his younger years, but as he aged, he would have a difficult time holding weight through the winter. This oil helped every time. I liked that I didn't have to add too many more things to his diet, as he was small and of a hardier breed. It provided just enough 'cool' calories to maintain his weight - even in work! An additional plus is that his winter coat always looked fantastic with the additional Omega 3s!

MY TB becomes a very hard keeper in the summer due to his training schedule and his normal feeding schedule was 8-10 pounds a day of Nutrena Fuel and 2 pounds a day of alfalfa pellets and we could barely keep weight on. Now he is on 6 pounds a day of Fuel and 1/4 cup Cocosoya in the am and pm and I could probably cut his Fuel back to 5 pounds. I wasn't thinking 1/2 cup would make that much of a difference but it has really kept the weight on.

I have a horse recently diagnosed with PPID/IR and started on Prascend who has become very picky about feed and supplements. He is cleaning up everything since I started the Cocosoya oil. My other horse also loves it. That being said, I do not recommend buying the pump for the jug. The oil is messy as oil is and the pump leaks oil after you pump it. Also the oil needs to be shaken before use and even if you are careful, the oil leaks all over. After 2 days of it, I threw it away I was so annoyed. Skip the pump and transfer the oil into an empty squeeze bottle and you will be much happier.

I've put off writing a review for about 5 months as I've been waiting for the horses to shed their winter coats. Cocosoya is tasty to ALL my horses, helped a dangerously thin horse gain weight and eat again, left my horses with shiny manes and tails, and gave my horses beautiful plush winter coats. Now the final test has been passed - my bay mare that hasn't had dapples since we moved three years ago shed out to be absolutely COVERED in them. Even one of the grullas has faint dappling! I initially purchased this around five months ago as a last resort for a mare that wasn't eating. Due to an inflamed tooth, she refused to eat absolutely anything for days and with her body condition already a 3, I was desperate. I poured a generous amount of this on soaked hay cubs and she pushed all the hay aside to lick up the oil. Didn't solve the no eating problem, but at least I knew it tasted amazing! Now, about 3 months later and with the help of some senior feed (and a pulled tooth), she's gained upward of 150 pounds and looks sleek, shiny, and healthy. I keep her on 5 oz. a day and the others 2 oz. All the horses are velvety and glow in the sun, and I couldn't be happier! The pump for the 5 gallon is also great. One pump = 1 oz. Makes feed time go a lot quicker!

This past fall, we noticed that my retired 30-ish year old mare had lost her topline and was dropping weight she couldn't afford to lose going into a New England winter. She's an extremely picky eater when it comes to supplements so it's always a bit of a wing and a prayer to see what she'll accept, so we were THRILLED that she loves the CocoSoya oil—she'll even eat her morning grain and supplements when mixed with the oil before she'll eat them mixed with applesauce or molasses! We kept a close eye on her weight through the winter, and celebrated again when we noticed her putting weight back on, which can be SO hard to do when they get to advanced age. I am absolutely convinced that CocoSoya has increased her quality of life and helped extend her lifespan based on the fact it helps keep her at a healthy weight. Would highly recommend to other with lean seniors or hard keepers.

I have been using CocoSoya oil for several years. Its perfect to help mask the taste of yucky supplements or medicines in the grain. Our horses stay super shiny and healthy looking. Even the dogs like it. They will lick any spot where it drips in the feed room.

I misread the label on this thinking it had more Omega 3's than 6's, but it has more Omega 6 and it made my horse who needs more anti-inflammatory in his diet much worse with inflammation and he became more lame as it was fighting against his anti-inflammatory smartpak. It is great in the sense that it added extra fat that he needed and made him shiny but is not a good fit horses that need an anti-inflammatory diet.

So this supplement works great for my picky eater friesian that leaves all her powdered supplements at the bottom of her bucket, with this they stick and she's more interested in actually eating her ration balancer/supplement mix. It smells very good too! However, this pump is terrible, it leaks so badly and I ended up with this oily mess all over my tack trunk. There really needs to be something done about this; it wastes product and will likely make some people not use this at all.

Seriously don't buy the pump. I used it, sat it down for maybe ten minutes, and came back to at least two doses of the oil in a puddle on my floor. I tried locking the pump down and it leaked just as much. The oil is great though.

Love CocoSoya, wishing however that I had saved my $10 on the pump. It is worthless. It doesn't hold the oil, so after pumping what I need it drips EVERYWHERE and doesn't stop. I do not recommend the pump; I have lost product because of it.
