Omega-3 product series

Omega-3 and omega-6 are two different types of fatty acids that are essential nutrients for horse health. They belong to polyunsaturated fatty acids and act as structural components of cell membranes and participate in many important biological processes. These fatty acids are available from different sources in the horse's diet and can have a number of effects on the horse's health and performance. Here are a few ways omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids can contribute to horse nutrition: Anti-inflammatory properties: Omega-3 fatty acids, especially EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), have anti-inflammatory properties. They can help control inflammatory reactions, which is especially useful for horses suffering from joint problems, for example. Skin and coat: Omega-3 fatty acids can contribute to the maintenance of healthy skin and coat. They can help reduce itching, scaling and inflammation, which can be useful for horses with allergies, for example. Muscle and joint health: Omega-3 fatty acids can support muscle and joint health. They can help reduce muscle inflammation and maintain joint mobility. Immunity: Omega-3 fatty acids can support the function of the immune system and help the horse resist infections. Reproductive health: Omega-3 fatty acids have been found to affect reproductive health and fertility. They can be especially useful during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Omega-6 fatty acids: They are also important in horse nutrition, but their relationship with omega-3 fatty acids is important. Most horse diets already contain enough omega-6 fatty acids, so it is important to ensure that omega-3 fatty acids are provided in proportion to omega-6. It is important to note that omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids should be provided in a balanced ratio and in the right amounts. A superior intake of omega-6 fatty acids relative to omega-3 can lead to an imbalance that can be pro-inflammatory. These fatty acids are best obtained from high-quality feed, such as high-quality pasture grass, hay and, for example, fish oil. Before changing feeding habits, it is recommended that you speak with a veterinarian or stable wholesale specialist to determine how omega fatty acids can best support the health and needs of your particular horse.
