Omega 3,6,9 HorseMaster

Vegetable oils have many benefits in horse nutrition:

1. They are an energy source:

The addition of oil makes it possible to increase the energy density of a ration without increasing the food volume. 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 diet helps to spare glycogen stores (source of energy in the muscle) and therefore delays the onset of fatigue during exercise.

3. These are sources of omega 3 and 6:

Omega 3 and 6 are “essential fatty acids”, meaning they cannot be synthesized by the body.

Adding oil to the horse's ration will lead to additional needs for antioxidants, because the oxidation of fatty acids produces free radicals. Thus, vitamin E is capable of trapping these free radicals following oxidative stress.

OMEGA 3 6 9 is a source of essential fatty acids thanks to corn oil (important source of omega 6), rapeseed oil (source of omega 9) and linseed oil (important source of omega 3) which it provides in ideal proportion. The OMEGA 3 6 9 formula also provides a major antioxidant, vitamin E, complementary to the addition of oils in the ration.

Our advice: do not exceed 5 - 7% oil in the concentrate ration for racing horses and 8 - 12% in the concentrate ration for endurance horses. Never exceed 500 ml/day of oil per horse.
