Omega Equine Linseed Meal – 20 kg High-Fat Conditioning Supplement for Horses & Ponies

Omega Equine Linseed Meal – 20kg

This is the bulk bag of Omega's micronised linseed meal — 100 to 200 days of feeding for one horse, and the size that makes daily linseed affordable on a busy yard. Micronising cooks the seed briefly with infrared heat, which Omega say removes the toxins raw linseed carries and is why this needs no boiling.

Omega declare 37% crude fats and oils against 23% crude protein and 7% crude fibre, so it is a genuinely calorie-dense conditioner that puts weight and coat on without the starch of a cereal. At 100g to 200g a day the 20kg bag runs for roughly 100 to 200 days.

Performance & Benefits

• Micronised and ready to feed — no boiling, no soaking, no overnight preparation.
• Declared 37% crude fats and oils, making it a high-calorie conditioner.
• 23% crude protein, useful where topline rather than fat cover is the aim.
• High in omega-3, which Omega link to coat and skin health.
• Low in starch and sugar, so condition comes without cereal-driven fizz.
• Omega name zinc, vitamin B1, manganese, magnesium, phosphorus and copper among its natural constituents.

Suitable For

• Showing and performance yards chasing coat quality and topline.
• Horses needing condition without excitable energy.
• Older horses that have lost cover and need calories from oil rather than starch.
• Yards feeding several horses, where a 20kg bag is the economic size.
• For a single horse, or for trying it first, the smaller Omega Equine Linseed Meal pack is the sensible size.

Feeding

• Feed 100g to 200g daily, according to the size and condition of the horse or pony.
• At that rate this 20kg bag lasts roughly 100 to 200 days for one horse.
• Introduce gradually over a week or so, as with any change to the oil content of a ration.
• Ensure constant access to fresh, clean water.
• Omega also supply linseed meal in a 3kg pack.
