Flax seeds have been valued for their properties in horse nutrition for years. The high fat content with a favorable balance of omega-3 and omega-6 acids makes them a popular and healthy addition to the diet, not only for horses. Another advantage of this product is the high protein content with a relatively valuable amino acid profile.

Flaxseed is one of the richest natural plant sources of unsaturated omega-3 fatty acids (ALA); and also contains phytoestrogens (lignans), flavonoids and a complex group of amino acids and minerals. Omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties, which contribute to the relief of inflammation and rheumatic ailments. Flaxseed is a common addition to many equine dishes; often to improve the quality of skin and hair, as well as hooves. Its properties to alleviate the symptoms of skin allergies are confirmed by scientific research. Brewed or cooked seeds secrete mucus that has a prebiotic nature and in this form are used in horses with digestive system diseases, as they can have a protective effect on the walls of the digestive system organs.
