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, typically has a low ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6. UltraCruz® Equine Weight Gain Supplement for Horses may help achieve the desired ratio of fatty acids in the diet to help maintain balance, possibly improve body condition, and may support horse health.

UltraCruz® Equine Weight Gain is an amazing product that keeps weight on my big race bred horses. It maintains their weight and never makes them hot.

The training regime that a cutting horse requires for competition is intensive, therefore I need to make sure my horses' physical condition is at its optimum. The Omega 3 and Vitamin E in UltraCruz® Weight Gain make my horses' coats look their best, as well as having the added calories they need to maintain their best body condition.

After trying a slew of products to help a mare with an extensive medical history keep weight on her, UltraCruz® Equine Weight Gain was recommended to us. This mare is a notoriously picky eater who will pick around supplements and refuse feed. When we added in the UltraCruz® Weight Gain, it was the very first time in 3 years that we saw her eat with such a gusto that she did not even pick her head up out of the feed container! Already in almost 4 weeks we are noticing a difference in the amount of coverage along her topline and throughout her ribs, and we will definitely be continuing this product!

I purchased the UltraCruz Equine Weight Gain for a late gestation broodmare to bump up her Omega 3 and Vitamin E levels. I am very happy with this product! I previously used a "name brand" oil known for it's Omega 3 and Vitamin E, but it was getting to be hard on the pocketbook, and to be honest, hard to get my mare to stay at her feed bucket! With UltraCruz's product, however, she has not ONCE turned her nose up due to taste or smell, she licks her bucket clean! And my wallet is VERY happy as well! I will be continuing to use this product! Thank you!
