Do you feed your horse Flaxseed Oil? Did you know we have Faxseed Oil in store?! Here's a little FYI about Flaxseed! Flaxseeds are high in fat. The type of fat is what makes them so special. What differentiates flaxseeds from other high fat foods is its fatty acid profile. Most of the fat in flaxseeds is in the form of two polyunsaturated fatty acids linoleic acid (LA) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Your horse requires them to be healthy. But his body is not capable of pr...oducing them. (The same is true for you!) So, it is up to you to add them to his diet. Consequently, by definition, LA and ALA are referred to as essential fatty acids (EFAs). LA belongs to the omega-6 family of fatty acids and comprises 16% of flaxseed’s fatty acid content. Inside the horse’s cells, it is converted to arachidonic acid, which promotes the formation of inflammatory prostaglandins and eicosanoids. ALA is one of several omega-3 fatty acids and comprises 58% of flaxseed’s fat content. It has the opposite effect on inflammation it reduces inflammation because it enters a different metabolic pathway, leading to the formation of an anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acid known as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). However, it has been suggested that this conversion rate of ALA to DHA is low. Nevertheless, the amount of DHA produced may be sufficient to maintain tissue function and may not be a concern unless the horse is experiencing significant amounts of inflammation. For example, horses suffering from arthritis, obesity, insulin resistance, leptin resistance, PPID, ulcers, allergies, muscle soreness, ligament/tendon damage, and injuries, would likely benefit from adding DHA directly to the diet.
