Linseed

Linseed can be used as a top-up to any horse’s feed. However, it may be particularly useful for those in work and needing extra slow-release energy. Additionally, it is beneficial for older horses needing to gain or maintain body weight, and those that need a low-starch and low sugar diet.

The seeds can be fed whole and mixed into horse feed but are best if ground immediately before feeding.

Linseed is high in digestible protein, offers support for the immune system, has antioxidant properties and is low in starch/carbohydrate which means it is suitable for all types of equines including older horses and those prone to laminitis.
