Animal care with neem oil (Niemöl): Neem products for dogs and horses
Animal care with neem oil is a natural way to clean and care for the coat and skin of dogs and horses. Neem oil is a product obtained from the seeds of the neem tree. It contains many valuable ingredients that have a positive effect on the coat and skin of animals. Neem oil can either be used in ready-made products such as shampoos, coat care sprays or creams or applied directly to the coat and skin. It cleans and cares for the coat, makes it supple and leaves a pleasant fragrance. The skin under the coat is protected from pests such as ticks, fleas, hair lice and biting flies.
Animal care with neem oil is particularly suitable for dogs, horses, sheep, cattle and chickens as the conditions in which they are kept in groups attract a large number of pests and quickly lead to large populations. The neem oil in the animal shampoo helps to relieve dryness and itching and balances the pH of the skin. It also reduces the occurrence of skin rashes and infections.
When using neem oil, it is important that very pure and high-quality neem oil is used. It is sufficient to use neem oil in a diluted form. If you want to use it diluted with water, it must first be mixed with a suitable emulsifier. The neem oil emulsifier "Rimulgan" is suitable for this and must be mixed in a ratio of 4 parts neem oil and 1 part Rimulgan. This neem oil-emulsifier mixture can then be dissolved in water, whereby a concentration of 1% to 10% should be used, depending on the form of application. This neem oil-water emulsion should then be applied to the animal's coat and skin. You can also use pure neem oil by gently massaging it into the coat and onto the skin. It should be applied as evenly as possible.
Regular use of neem oil or neem products in animal care can keep the coat and hair healthy. It thoroughly cleanses the coat of dirt and dead skin cells and improves the structure of the hair. Neem oil also acts as a natural insect repellent and can help keep fleas, lice, ticks and other pests away. It also gives the coat a healthy shine.
Neem oil is therefore an ideal product for pet care as it contains natural ingredients and no harmful chemicals or irritating additives. It is gentle on the skin and causes no side effects. This makes it suitable for sensitive animals and those with skin problems. Neem also poses no danger or risks to the pet owner using it.
Overall, animal care with neem oil is a natural and effective way to clean and care for the coat and skin of dogs and horses. It is safe and easy to use and has many positive effects on animal health. Both dogs and horses can benefit from the use of neem oil in animal care and maintain a healthy and shiny coat. Neem oil is extracted from the seeds of the neem tree and contains natural ingredients that can have antibacterial, antiparasitic and anti-inflammatory effects.

Neem products for sheep, goats and poultry
Other domestic animals such as sheep, goats and poultry can also be treated very well with neem oil. In the case of sheep, it is very often hair lice that make life difficult for the user. You can bathe the sheep in a neem oil-emulsifier-water solution or spray them with it so that they are less susceptible to infestation by these pests. In chickens, it is often mites that settle in the feathers. Here too, the animals can be bathed with a neem oil-emulsifier-water solution or sprayed with it. When carrying out such a treatment, it is also important to ensure that the coop is cleaned at the same time and, if necessary, also treated with the neem oil-emulsifier-water solution.
