UltraCruz® Equine Pure Wheat Germ Oil Supplement for Horses
- Contains Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids
- Provides high levels of Vitamin E for immune support
- Promotes healthy skin and coat condition
- Excellent source of additional calories
UltraCruz® Equine Pure Wheat Germ Oil Supplement for Horses is a supplement for horses that serves as an excellent source of Omega-6 and Omega-3 Fatty Acids to help promote a healthy and shiny coat. Wheat Germ Oil is also a great source of energy and Vitamin E. This supplement is ideal for horses that are lacking essential fatty acids in their diet, particularly Omega-6 Fatty Acids, as well as horses requiring additional calories. This high-calorie supplement is provided as a palatable liquid; simply top-dress over feed to help your horse look their best!
Wheat Germ Oil contains the long-chain fatty alcohol Octacosanol - a 28 carbon primary fatty alcohol that is commonly found in the waxes of plants, including most forages and cereal grasses. Wheat Germ Oil also contains high levels of Vitamin E to help support overall health.
Essential fatty acids are valued for their health benefits, but there must be a balance between the Omega-3s and the Omega-6s. Horses that do not have access to grass, which is higher in Omega-3 Fatty Acids, may be consuming too many Omega-6 Fatty Acids from their fortified grain.
For a more economical way to provide horses with the benefits of essential fatty acid supplementation, we suggest UltraCruz® Equine Pure Wheat Germ Oil Supplement for Horses. If your horse already consumes sufficient Omega-6 Fatty Acids in it's diet and simply requires an extra source of Omega-3 Fatty Acids, we recommend UltraCruz® Pure Flax Oil Supplement for Horses, Cattle, Goats, Sheep and Pigs.

Great product, great price! Love that SCAH carries Wheat Germ in the pure form. Due to it's high content of Vit. A and Vit. D, I like feeding UltraCruz Pure Wheat Germ Oil to my broodmares for the extra nutrients and vitamins that they need. Does great for putting on weight and bloom as well. ~ Vision Quest Appaloosas
Love the high content of wheat germ oil! Makes it convenient and pricing is so affordable! We supplement some of our training horses with UltraCruz Pure Wheat Germ Oil to improve their coats and overall condition!!! Glad I found a more responsibly priced product we can use and not break the bank! ~ Smooch
