EquiPower - Leinöl

Single feed for horses

• supports skin, coat and digestion
• supplies with essential fatty acids
• optimizes the energy metabolism without protein load

EquiPower -Leinöl is a particularly effective source of essential, unsaturated omega-3 fatty acids. Linseed oil also helps to relieve the energy metabolism in the liver, as it provides protein-free energy.

Application

Linseed oil for inflammation and allergic diseases:
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 the feed.

Experience has shown that a ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids of 1:3-5 is recommended for optimum health. While omega-3 fatty acids predominate in hay and fresh grass, the ratio of fatty acids in grain is 1:20 to 1:30 (!), resulting in a significant overweight of omega-6 fats with all the negative consequences. For this reason, an oil with the highest possible content of omega-3 fatty acids and the lowest possible content of omega-6 fatty acids should be added daily to optimize the fatty acid profile, especially for horses receiving 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 genetically determined insulin hypersensitivity. If the following work (especially muscle tension due to 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 formation of harmful substances, the muscle fibers swell and the blood flow 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 lead to the destruction of the muscle fibers. By replacing carbohydrate-rich concentrated feed with oils, the risk of extreme glycogen overstorage can be reduced.
