Rose Hip Cynorrhodon

Rose hip, also known as cynorrhodon, is the fruit of the rose plant, particularly of wild roses such as Rosa canina. These fruits grow wild in various parts of Europe and Asia, but are also cultivated in other parts of the world. Rose hips are recognizable by their round, scarlet red fruits that are often harvested in late summer and autumn.

Traditionally, rose hips are used in various forms, such as dried, ground, or as an extract. In animal feed, rose hips are especially valued for their natural content of vitamin C and antioxidants. For dogs, they can contribute to healthy skin and coat, while for chickens they can serve as a dietary supplement to support overall health. In horses, rose hips are sometimes added to feed to promote digestion and as a source of nutrients.

In addition to their nutritional value, there is evidence that rose hips may help boost the immune system of animals, although further research is needed to fully understand these benefits. Therefore, the use of rose hip as a supplement can be a valuable addition to the diet of dogs, chickens, and horses.
