Product description
Nutritional Profile
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Contains high levels of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which helps balance the Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio in the equine diet.
- Protein: Typically provides around 18% to 23% crude protein.
- Fat: Rich in vegetable fat, which delivers "cool energy" for weight gain and athletic performance without adding non-structural carbohydrates (NSC).
- Fiber and Mucilage: Soluble fibers act as a prebiotic and form a soothing, gel-like mucilage in the digestive tract.
Key Benefits
- Skin and Coat Health: The high fat and Omega-3 content promotes a glossy, show-quality hair coat.
- Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Omega-3s aid in reducing inflammation, making it highly beneficial for horses with insect bite hypersensitivity (sweet itch) or arthritis. [
- Digestive Support: The gel-like mucilage helps ease digestive transit. Some equine nutritionists recommend soaked or boiled flax to leverage this property for carrying sand out of the gastrointestinal tract
