Equine America Supreme Omega General Health Oil Supplement helps with a glossy coat, healthy skin, and overall well-being.
Feeding oil to horses is now pretty universally accepted as a good way to provide additional non-starch calories for those horses and ponies who need additional calories for work or weight gain, but who require a low-starch and sugar diet. Most users also recognize that feeding oils will help produce a glossy coat and healthy skin.
However, in recent years, the type of oil and its constituent fatty acid make-up have received increasing attention, with research focusing on the polyunsaturated fatty acids (or PUFAs) and two groups in particular, which are thought to have particular health implications for horses and ponies:
Omega-3 fatty acids, which are derived from ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), include EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). The horse is able to convert ALA to EPA and DHA when ALA is provided in the diet.
Omega-6 fatty acids, which stem from LA (linoleic acid).
Both omega-3s and omega-6s play many important roles in the body, including:
- Joint health
- Hoof Health
- Reproduction
- Immune Function
- Endocrine (hormone) function
- Respiratory function
- Neurological function
- Skin and coat condition
Directions for use:
For a 500kg horse, 30-60ml per day. If required, increase to 100ml per day.
(When feeding higher levels of EA Supreme Omega Oil, please ensure vitamin E levels in the rest of the diet are sufficient to meet requirements. For more information, please contact us.)
