Description
Vegetable oils have many advantages in horse feeding:
1. They are a source of energy:
The addition of oil increases the energy density of a ration without increasing the volume of feed. In energy equivalent, 1L of vegetable oil = 3 kg of barley!
2. They are involved in muscle metabolism:
The use of lipids (oils) in the ration helps to save glycogen stocks (source of energy in the muscle) and therefore delay the onset of fatigue during an effort.
3. These are sources of omega 3 and 6:
Omega 3 and 6 are "essential fatty acids", i.e. they cannot be synthesized by the body.
FLAX OIL provides a regular supply of fatty acids rich in omega 3, 6 and 9. This excellent quality oil helps lean horses gain weight and has a beneficial effect on the hair and skin. LINSEED OIL is also suitable for horses in training for which it is necessary to increase the energy density of the ration.
