Supplementing Flax Oil in a horse's diet can support weight management without increasing grain intake. This high-quality weight gain supplement may be especially beneficial for horses participating in rigorous exercise or any horse that requires support to maintain a healthy body condition.
Flax Oil supplementation can support weight management and also help maintain a healthy skin and coat.
Supplement a healthy body condition and beautiful hair coat with healthy, strong hooves by adding UltraCruz® Equine Advanced Hoof Supplement for Horses.
About Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Historically, under natural conditions, horses consume an approximately 5:1 ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6, which is the ratio found in grass and green hay. The modern equine diet, which is primarily grain-based, has a low (less than 1:10) ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6. UltraCruz® Equine Pure Flax Oil Supplement for Horses can help achieve the desired ratio of fatty acids in the diet to maintain balance and support horse health.
