  • Can horses eat flaxseed oil?
  • Horses can consume flaxseed oil or whole flaxseed, but to obtain its nutrients they should eat it ground (due to the seed’s hard outer coating). The most concentrated and biologically effective omega-3 fatty acid sources come from the sea. Algae and plankton can produce DHA and EPA, which marine animals then accumulate by consuming these organisms.
  • What are the benefits of flaxseed for horses?
  • Flaxseed, added to our supplements, is a perfect source of Omegas 3,, 6,, and 9 for horses. These Omegas have been shown to support healthy hair, coat, and hoof condition. Additionally, they help support a healthy immune system in animals. Biotin is also included to help horses utilize and metabolize proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, particularly the Omegas. We added Flax to give you the perfect source of these essential nutrients.
  • Does milled flaxseed increase DPA in horses?
  • In horses fed milled flaxseed, skeletal muscle had increased DPA than non-supplemented horses (Hess et al., 2012), aligning with the increased EPA % composition of the skin following ALA supplementation observed in the current study, indicating that horses may have the ability to convert ALA to its longer chain metabolites.
  • Can horses eat Camelina sativa?
  • Camelina sativa is an oilseed crop rich in α-linolenic acid (ALA), an n-3 fatty acid (FA), and is resistant to harsh climates and pests. Previously, supplementation with camelina oil (CAM) in horses had no adverse effects on basic health parameters and had comparable skin and coat parameters as both flaxseed oil (FLX) and canola oil (OLA).
  • Can Ala enriched oils help a horse's skin?
  • Horses were supplemented with one of 3 ALA-enriched oils (camelina, canola, or flaxseed) for 16 wk and the skin FA profile, immune, and inflammatory response of horses in each treatment was assessed and compared.
  • Is Camelina oil good for horses?
  • Camelina oil supplies a similar omega-6 to omega-3 ratio (approximately 1:2) as other ALA-rich oils such as flaxseed oil (approximately 1:4). Omega-3 FA can benefit skin health, immunity, and inflammation, but the effect of camelina oil on these parameters in horses has not been investigated.
