British Horse Feeds Cooked Linseed Meal – 20kg for Horses

British Horse Feeds Cooked Linseed – 20kg

British Horse Feeds cook and micronise whole Non-GM linseed using heat, moisture and grinding alone — no chemicals and no solvents — and bag the result as a clean dark brown meal or flakes. The cooking is the point: it is what makes linseed safe to feed straight from the sack rather than something you have to boil yourself the night before.

The figures are what separate it from a cereal. British Horse Feeds declare 39% oil and 23% protein against 4.5% starch and 3% sugar, so the calories arrive as slow-release oil rather than as starch. That is why it is the conditioning feed of choice for horses that cannot have grain.

Performance & Benefits

• 100% whole Non-GM linseed, cooked and micronised using only heat, moisture and grinding.
• 39% oil and 23% protein, against 4.5% starch and 3% sugar.
• Digestible energy of 22 MJ/kg, among the highest of any straight feed.
• A natural source of linoleic acid, declared at 5.15%.
• Ready to feed dry from the sack, or top-dressed onto a soaked feed.
• British Horse Feeds describe it as ideal for horses and ponies prone to laminitis.

Suitable For

• Horses and ponies needing condition without cereal starch.
• Coat and skin through the moult and the show season.
• Horses on a fibre-based diet — it is designed to pair with Speedi-Beet and Fibre-Beet.
• Ponies prone to laminitis, on British Horse Feeds' own guidance.
• A little goes a long way. If you want fibre bulk in the bucket as well as oil, British Horse Feeds Fibre-Beet is the feed to build the ration on and this is the top dressing.

Feeding

• Ready to feed straight from the sack. No soaking and no boiling.
• On a fibre-based diet with Speedi-Beet or Fibre-Beet: 10–70g per 100kg liveweight, depending on activity.
• Alongside a hard feed or a balancer: 40–120g per 100kg liveweight, depending on activity and hard feed levels.
• Top-dress onto soaked feed or hard feed, or mix it through.
• Fresh clean water available at all times.

Composition & Analysis

• Dry matter 94.0%. Protein 23.0%. Oil 39.0%. Fibre 7.0%. Ash 4.5%. Starch 4.50%. Sugar 3.00%.
• Lysine 0.90%. Methionine 0.45%. Threonine 0.90%. Linoleic acid 5.15%.
• Calcium 0.20%. Phosphorus 0.55%, of which available phosphorus 0.40%. Magnesium 0.36%. Salt 0.10%.

• Some listings quote 37% oil. British Horse Feeds' own typical analysis states 39.0%, and that is the figure used here.

Care & Caution

• This linseed is cooked, which is what makes it safe to feed as it comes. Raw, uncooked linseed should never be fed to horses without proper cooking.
