Product Overview
Flaxseed is a nutrient-rich supplement beneficial for livestock, including horses. It's high in omega-3 fatty acids, which support skin health, promote a glossy coat, and have anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, flaxseed provides quality protein and fiber, aiding in digestion and overall well-being.
Key Benefits:
-
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Support skin health and promote a shiny coat.
-
Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Help reduce inflammation, benefiting horses with conditions like arthritis.
-
Digestive Health: High fiber content aids digestion and supports gut health.
Feeding Guidelines:
-
Dosage: Introduce flaxseed gradually, starting with 2-4 ounces (56-113 grams) per day for an average adult horse. Adjust based on individual needs and consult a veterinarian for personalized advice.
-
Preparation: Flaxseed can be fed whole or ground. Grinding may enhance digestibility, but ground flaxseed should be used promptly to prevent rancidity.
Storage:
Store flaxseed in a cool, dry place. If ground, keep it in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent oxidation.
Caution:
Introduce flaxseed slowly into the diet to allow the digestive system to adjust. Monitor for any adverse reactions and consult a veterinarian before making significant dietary changes.
Incorporating flaxseed into your horse's diet can enhance their health, contributing to a lustrous coat and improved overall well-being.
