Omega 3
A high-fat diet is recommended for horses such as
dressage horses and
sport horses. Fats give a lot of energy and is very suitable for horses that are sensitive to concentrate feed and quickly suffer from diarrhea, colic, muscle stiffness and muscle laminitis.
Fat provides three times more energy than carbohydrates and above problems can be avoided as starch definitely has an effect on these problems.
Even for
nervous or anxious horses, oils and fats bring solace. A high-fat diet usually gives less incentives than a starchy food.
Horses get a shinier coat, more energy and more flexible joints. Research of the
Kentucky Equine Research Inc. has shown that
Omega 3 fatty acids are useful for the treatment of arthritis and lameness.
