Flaxseed is the seed of the oil flax plant (Linum Usitatissimum).
The shiny brown linseeds consist of 40% oil (fat) and about 58% of that is omega-3 fatty acid (alpha-linolenic acid) and about 14% omega-6 (linoleic acid). The high omega-3 content is the main reason why flaxseed can be an important addition to the horse's diet. In addition to the high fat content, a quarter of linseed consists of high-quality proteins (of which 1% lysine) and the rest mainly consists of dietary fiber.
Flaxseed contains less than 4.5% sugar and starch and can therefore also be fed (in moderation) to horses with insulin resistance and ppid, provided they are not too fat.
Omega-3 and 6 fatty acids play an important role in the regulation of the body's inflammatory responses. In general, it can be said that omega-6 has an anti-inflammatory effect and omega-3 has an anti-inflammatory effect.
Omega-3 fatty acids are also indispensable for a well-functioning immune system, healthy joints, fertility, strong hooves, healthy skin and coat and countless other bodily functions.
