Olive

Olives are the fruits of the olive tree (Olea europaea), which originates from the Mediterranean region. These trees have been an important part of agriculture and culture in this area for thousands of years. Olives are often processed into olive oil, but they can also be eaten whole, both raw and pickled.

In the diet of animals such as dogs, chickens, and horses, olives can be a valuable addition. For dogs, small amounts of olives can contribute to a healthy diet, thanks to their content of fats and antioxidants. Chickens can benefit from olives as a source of energy and essential fatty acids. For horses, adding olives to their diet can help promote healthy skin and coat, given the nutrients that olives contain.

It is important to mention that olives should always be given in moderation and that they should be pitted, especially for dogs, to prevent choking hazards. When introducing new foods to animals, it is advisable to do so gradually and, if necessary, seek advice from a veterinarian.
