KM Elite Flaxseed Linseed Oil 1L - Horse Supplement to Aids Digestion

KM Elite Flaxseed (Linseed) Oil – 1L

One litre of cold-pressed flaxseed oil, which KM Elite have milled, pressed and bottled on a British farm rather than importing in bulk. It is the smallest of the three sizes they make and the one to buy for a single horse, or to try before committing to a five-litre drum.

Flaxseed carries more alpha-linolenic acid — the plant form of Omega 3 — than any other common vegetable oil, which is the whole reason it is fed. A diet built on cereals and conserved forage tends to run heavy on Omega 6 and light on Omega 3, and a daily measure of linseed oil is the simplest way to push that ratio back the other way.

Performance & Benefits

• Cold-pressed rather than heat- or solvent-extracted, which KM Elite say preserves more of the natural oils.
• Milled, freshly pressed and bottled on a British farm.
• The richest common vegetable source of Omega 3 as alpha-linolenic acid, alongside Omega 6 and Omega 9.
• Fed for skin and coat condition and for general Omega balance.
• 1 litre bottle — the smallest of the three sizes KM Elite make.

Suitable For

• Single horses and ponies on a cereal-based or conserved-forage diet.
• Horses whose coat and skin condition needs support.
• Owners trying linseed oil for the first time.
• Anyone who wants a single-ingredient oil rather than a blended supplement.
• Feeding more than one horse, or one horse year-round, is cheaper from the KM Elite Flaxseed (Linseed) Oil 5L.

Feeding

• Pour onto the daily feed and stir through. It coats a damp feed better than a dry one.
• Introduce gradually over a week or two — a horse moved onto oil too quickly commonly loosens off.
• KM Elite publish no daily millilitre rate, so follow the rate on the bottle you receive or take your vet's or nutritionist's advice.
• Keep the cap on and the bottle out of the light. Cold-pressed oils go rancid faster than refined ones; if it smells sharp or paint-like, do not feed it.
• Rinse the measure after each use rather than letting oil dry on it.
