KM Elite Liquid Garlic 1L - Fly Repellent Horse Supplement

KM Elite Liquid Garlic – 1L

A litre of concentrated liquid garlic, fed at 10ml a day, which is where its appeal lies: KM Elite reckon a bottle covers up to 100 days for a horse, so one bottle takes most horses through a fly season without a second purchase. It pours straight onto solid feed and does not need mixing in the way granules do.

KM Elite state the liquid carries 25% more garlic oil than their granules or powder, and describe it as up to ten times more effective at repelling flies and biting insects than other garlic products — their claim, and a marketing comparison rather than a measured one. What is not in doubt is that a measured 10ml is far easier to get right than a scoop of granules.

Performance & Benefits

• 10ml daily dose — KM Elite's own published rate, unusually specific for a garlic product.
• 1 litre covers up to 100 days at 10ml a day for a horse, on KM Elite's figures.
• KM Elite state it contains 25% more garlic oil than their granules or powder.
• Liquid form goes onto the feed without the drifting and caking that affects dry garlic.
• KM Elite also list it as suitable for poultry as well as horses.

Suitable For

• Horses and ponies fed garlic through the fly and midge season.
• Owners who want a measured dose rather than an eyeballed scoop.
• Fussy feeders that pick dry garlic granules out of a bucket.
• Poultry keepers — KM Elite list poultry among the species it suits.
• If you feed a dry mix and would rather have a dry topping, the KM Elite Garlic Granules 1kg or 3kg do the same job in granulated form.

Feeding

• Add 10ml once daily to solid feed. Ponies take up to 10ml as well, on KM Elite's guidance.
• One litre gives up to 100 days at that rate for a horse.
• Shake before pouring and measure it rather than free-pouring — it is concentrated.
• Introduce gradually over a few days so the horse gets used to the smell.

Composition & Analysis

• Composition: KM Elite describe it as 100% natural liquid garlic and list no other ingredient.
• KM Elite publish no typical analysis — no oil, protein or ash percentages — so none are stated here.
• The only quantitative composition figure KM Elite publish is that it holds 25% more garlic oil than their granules or powder.
• 1 litre bottle. KM Elite product code GLIQ.
• The claim that one litre equals over 3kg of granules appears in older retail copy. KM Elite do not publish that equivalence, and it is not stated here as fact.
• The "ten times more effective" figure is KM Elite's own marketing comparison, not a tested repellency rating.

Care & Caution

• Concentrated garlic is easy to over-dose by pouring rather than measuring. Garlic at high, sustained intakes has been associated with Heinz body anaemia in horses — stay at 10ml.
• Check your competition body's rules before feeding a herbal supplement to a horse in competition.
• Ask your vet first if the horse is anaemic, pregnant or on medication.
