Garlic

Garlic, derived from the plant Allium sativum, has a rich history as a food and herb. Originally from Central Asia, garlic is now cultivated and used worldwide in various cuisines. Traditionally, it is used to flavor dishes, but it also has a long history in folk medicine.

In pets such as dogs and horses, garlic is sometimes added to the diet due to its supposed benefits. It may help in repelling parasites, such as fleas and ticks. For chickens, garlic is sometimes given to support overall health and promote digestion. However, its use should be approached with caution, as large amounts can be harmful.

While garlic may have potential positive effects, it is important to remember that not all animals react the same way. It is advisable to seek advice from a veterinarian before adding garlic to the diet of pets or livestock.
