Km Elite Cider Vinegar 1Ltr

KM Elite Cider Vinegar – 1 Litre

KM Elite's cider vinegar is a traditional unpasteurised apple cider vinegar, pressed in the UK from British apples and left with the mother in it. Unpasteurised is the point — heat treatment is what strips out the natural enzymes and gives you a clear, inert vinegar instead of a cloudy live one.

At the rate KM Elite give for horses, 75–100ml a day, a 1 litre bottle runs a single horse for roughly ten days to a fortnight. That makes this the size to buy if you want to see whether a horse takes it in the feed before committing to a drum of the stuff.

Performance & Benefits

• Unpasteurised, so the natural enzymes and the mother are still in the bottle rather than filtered out.
• Made in Britain from locally sourced British apples.
• Traditionally fed for digestive support and general condition.
• One product covers the yard and the house — KM Elite give rates for horses, dogs, poultry and pigeons.
• Can be used topically as well as fed.

Suitable For

• Horses and ponies fed for digestive support and general condition.
• Dogs, poultry and pigeons — KM Elite publish rates for all three.
• Trying cider vinegar for the first time, or feeding one horse for a short spell.
• Topical use as part of a grooming routine.
• Not economic for a yard feeding several horses year-round — the 5 litre is the size for that.

Feeding

• Horses: 75–100ml daily, added to feed or to water.
• Dogs: 5–10ml, two to three times a week.
• Poultry and pigeons: 10ml per 1 litre of drinking water, or per kilogram of feed.
• Introduce it gradually over several days — the smell and the sharpness put some horses off a feed entirely at full rate.
• At 75–100ml a day, 1 litre lasts roughly ten days to a fortnight for one horse.
• Shake before use. KM Elite also make this vinegar in 5 litre and 25 litre.

Composition & Analysis

• Composition: apple cider vinegar, unpasteurised, produced in the UK from British apples and still containing the mother.
• KM Elite publish no analytical constituents for this product. No acetic acid percentage, no mineral levels and no vitamin figures are declared, so none are stated here.
• Claims that appear on some retail listings — figures for potassium, sodium, iron, boron, magnesium or calcium content — are not KM Elite figures and are not repeated here.
• Being unpasteurised, the vinegar will throw a natural sediment. That is the mother, not spoilage.
• 1 litre bottle. SKU 1001901. Barcode 5060171233428.

Care & Caution

• Cider vinegar is acidic. Always add it to feed or to water — never syringe it neat, and do not offer it undiluted as the only drinking source.
• Not the right supplement for a horse with, or being treated for, gastric ulceration. Take veterinary advice before feeding an acid to an ulcerated stomach.
• Keep it out of the eyes when using it topically, and do not apply it to broken or already sore skin.
• Always leave a supply of plain, untreated water alongside any bucket the vinegar has been added to.
