Special Ingredients
Blend of Vegetable Oils – Fats and oils are commonly used to increase the calorie content of the feed or to replace the calories supplied by carbohydrates. Fat supplementation has many benefits including, providing calories for weight gain and providing essential fatty acids to improve skin and coat condition. Feeding fat has also been reported to decrease excitability in nervous horses. Vegetable oils are highly digestible, in excess of 90% digestible by horses. On an equal weight basis vegetable oil provides horses with 2.5 times the digestible energy of corn and nearly 3 times the digestible energy of feeding oats. Reducing the amount of grain in the diet may decrease the risk of colic and grain overload laminitis.
Essential Fatty Acids – Linoleic (Omega-6) and alpha-linolenic (Omega-3) acid cannot be synthesized by the body and must be supplied in their diet. Both Omega 3 & 6 fatty acids are considered essential to the horse and may possess the following beneficial properties: increase semen quality and increase vitamin E status.
Fish Oil – is very high in Omega-3 essential fatty acids which enhance overall health in horses. Essential fatty acids cannot be synthesized by the horses and therefore must be provided in their diet.
Flaxseed – is high in Omega-3 essential fatty acids which enhance overall health in horses. Essential fatty acids cannot be synthesized by the horses and therefore must be provided in their diet.
Vitamin E – Natural vitamin E is significantly more bio-available than synthetic vitamin E
