Milk Thistle

Milk thistle, also known as Silybum marianum, is a plant native to the Mediterranean region. The plant has striking purple flowers and spiky leaves. Milk thistle has been traditionally used for centuries, especially in herbal medicine, due to the active substance silymarin found in its seeds.

In animals such as dogs, chickens, and horses, milk thistle is often used to support liver function and digestion. It can help promote a healthy metabolism and support the immune system. Many owners choose to add milk thistle to their pets' or livestock's diet in the form of powder or supplements.

Although milk thistle is considered a natural remedy, it is important to seek veterinary advice before using it. This ensures that its use is safe and effective for the specific animal and its needs.
