Hops

Hops is a climbing plant primarily grown in temperate climates, with a long history of use in beer production. The flowers, or "hops cones," are harvested and dried, after which they are used for their aromatic and preservative properties. In traditional beer brewing, hops provide a bitter taste and a fresh aroma, but the plant also has applications outside the brewery.

In the world of pets and livestock, hops are sometimes used for their calming properties. In dogs, it can help with anxiety and restlessness, while it may also contribute to better digestion. For chickens, hops can have a positive impact on well-being, especially in stressful situations. In horses, it is sometimes used to promote relaxation, particularly for animals that are sensitive to stimuli.

Although hops can offer various benefits, it is important to use them in moderation and always seek advice from a veterinarian or specialist before giving them to animals.
