There really isn't a placebo affect in horses.

But if you're not, why not make chicken broth instead? It's cheap, easy, and tasty, and if you do it in a slow cooker it doesn't need much tending. Plus it's made from something that most people throw out. Doesn't the urea, which is an organic compound, come from an animal or a vegetable, though? Or is it a petroleum product? (In which case, of course, it ultimately comes from a plant, though a plant that lived a looooooong time ago.) Well, OK, if you’re a vegetarian.

Melamine, source of plastic dinnerware and nasty crystals that ruin the kidneys of cats and dogs, is synthesized from urea. The process is something like how fertilizers are make. So that makes it neither animal nor vegetable. I love the question! Melamine, source of plastic dinnerware and nasty crystals that ruin the kidneys of cats and dogs, is synthesized from urea.
