EquiGLOTM Milled FlaxSeed For Horses

 EquiGLO milled flaxseed is a pure vegetable fat product that compliments forages by providing energy, essential fatty acids, essential amino acids, and vitamins.

Why Feed EquiGLO ?

Substitution of fat for some of the grain in high-energy rations decreases the need for fermentive digestion of starches, thereby reducing the likelihood of colic, tying up, laminitis, and founder.

The type of fat found in EquiGLO contains high levels of Omega 3 fatty acids, the "good " fat human research is now focusing on.

EquiGLO is rich in potassium, magnesium, iron, calcium, phosphorus, niacin, eight essential amino acids, and lecithin. EquiGLO is an excellent source of vitamin E, an antioxidant that is vital to immune system functioning and may be especially important for working horses as they are more prone to exercise – induced muscle damage. .

EquiGLO contains generous amounts of both insoluble and soluble fibre. Soluble fibre has been shown to be an effective cholesterol-lowering agent. Insoluble fibre has the capacity to hold water, and as a result helps to regulate manure consistency.

Product Background: Research on adding fat to horse diets has shown that fats provide more energy per kilogram, are more easily digested, and actually decrease the thermal load in working horses compared to grains. Feeding dietary fat also has a sparing effect on muscle glycogen stores, allowing horses to do more work before tiring.

EquiGLO comes in a meal form that is very palatable and can be fed alone, or top-dressed on other feeds.

Users of EquiGLO report a healthy shine and "glo" in the hair coats of their horses.

Feed with: Good quality grassy hay and Hoffman's Horse Mineral.

Feeding Rates: Typical feeding rates of EquiGLO are 100 - 450 grams (¼ to 1 lb) per horse daily, depending on the horses work load. For your convenience, each bag of EquiGLO comes with a scoop that measures 100 grams (¼ lb) of product when full.

Specific Benefit: Non-starch energy for active horses, putting weight on hard-keepers, and improving coat quality.

Product Description: EquiGLO Premium Milled Flaxseed is milled from #1 Canada "Select" food-grade flaxseed. No preservatives or additives are added. EquiGLO is a quality whole grain product that provides a rich plant source of omega 3 fatty acids, lignans, as well as both soluble and insoluble dietary fibre.
