KM Elite Flaxseed Linseed Oil 5L - Horse Supplement to Aid Digestion

KM Elite Flaxseed (Linseed) Oil – 5L

The five-litre drum is the working size: enough cold-pressed flaxseed oil to keep two or three horses going, or one horse fed daily right through the year, without reordering every few weeks. It is the same British-farm-pressed oil as the one-litre bottle, in a container you decant from rather than pour from.

Buying oil in bulk has one catch worth knowing about. Cold-pressed oils oxidise on contact with air and light, so a drum that is opened daily over several months needs keeping cool, capped and dark in a way a small bottle does not. Decanting a week's worth into a smaller container keeps the bulk of it sealed.

Performance & Benefits

• Five litres of 100% cold-pressed flaxseed oil — the mid size of KM Elite's three.
• Cold-pressed, milled and bottled on a British farm.
• Supplies alpha-linolenic acid (Omega 3) with Omega 6 and Omega 9.
• Better value per litre than the 1L bottle for regular, year-round feeding.
• One ingredient only, so it can sit alongside any balancer or supplement without duplication.

Suitable For

• Yards feeding oil to two or more horses.
• One horse fed linseed oil daily through the year.
• Owners already settled on linseed oil who are buying to a routine.
• Horses on cereal-heavy diets that need the Omega 6 to Omega 3 ratio pulled back.
• For a single horse or a first trial, the KM Elite Flaxseed (Linseed) Oil 1L is the sensible size — five litres opened and used slowly will go off before it is finished.

Feeding

• Decant a few days' worth into a smaller bottle and keep the drum capped, cool and out of the light.
• Pour onto the feed and stir through; introduce gradually over a week or two.
• KM Elite publish no daily millilitre rate, so follow the rate printed on the drum or take nutritional advice.
• Check the smell before each refill. Cold-pressed oil that has gone rancid smells sharp or like old paint and should not be fed.
• Wipe the neck and cap after pouring so the seal stays clean.
