Application

Linseed-oil for inflammation and allergic disorders:
Unsaturated essential fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6 compounds) are an indispensable component in the formation of new cells and play an important role in the course of inflammation. As the skin renews itself very quickly, an undersupply of fatty acids can be detected very easily on the skin (the skin as a "mirror of health"). In general, omega-3 fatty acids in particular reduce susceptibility to inflammation and allergic reactions, increase the suppleness and resistance of the skin and hair and accelerate the healing of pathological changes. Unsaturated, essential fatty acids cannot be built up by the body itself, so they must be supplied daily with food.

Experience has shown that a ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids of 1:3-5 is recommended for optimal health. While omega-3 fatty acids predominate in hay and fresh grass, the ratio of fatty acids in cereals is 1:20 to 1:30 (!), resulting in a significant overweight of omega-6 fats with all the negative consequences that entails. Therefore, an oil with the highest possible omega-3 fatty acid content and the lowest possible omega-6 fatty acid content should be added daily to optimize the fatty acid profile, especially for horses that are fed concentrated feed. Of all the vegetable oils used in horse feed, linseed oil is by far the most suitable for this purpose

Linseed oil for liver overload due to high-protein feeding:
As a rule, a performance horse needs high-energy feed to cover its energy requirements, but this usually leads to a considerable surplus of protein in the total feed ration. This excess protein has to be processed and detoxified in the liver, which means that the liver is constantly working at the limits of its capacity. If there is then a further strain on the metabolism, e.g. through forced work with increased lactic acid formation (lactate), effective detoxification of the organism or additional energy supply is no longer possible.
The energy content of 300 ml linseed oil corresponds approximately to the energy content of 1 kg of oats with a protein content of 0 g! (1 kg of oats contains approx. 80-120 g protein).

Linseed oil for glycogen storage diseases of the musculature (cross sprain, lumbago):
During longer periods of rest, there is an accumulation (110-112%) of glycogen (storage sugar), particularly in the muscles of the hindquarters. In some breeds (e.g. quarter horses, thoroughbreds), this storage can also be extremely increased by a genetic hypersensitivity to insulin. If the following work (especially muscle tension caused by stress/anxiety in nervous horses!!) leads to a sudden, heavy strain on the muscles, these increased carbohydrate stores are suddenly broken down. The burning of carbohydrates takes place with a lack of oxygen, i.e. with massive pollutant formation, the muscle fibers swell and the blood circulation is reduced. These changes lead to a vicious circle of anxiety, pain, lack of oxygen, muscle tension and swelling as well as an accumulation of toxic substances, which ultimately result in the destruction of the muscle fibers. By replacing carbohydrate-rich concentrates with oils, the risk of extreme glycogen overstorage can be reduced.

Instructions for proper use

Dosage for enrichment of feed with unsaturated essential fatty acids:
Horses (500 kg): 50 ml per day
Foals, young horses, small horses: 25 ml per day

Dosage for increased energy supply:
As an energy concentrate, performing horses (500 kg) may have 250 - 500 ml linseed oil per day without any ill-effect. The energy content of 300 ml linseed oil corresponds to the energy content of about 1 kg oats.
