Description
Equine Omega Complete is a fat supplement containing a blend of soybean oil and fish oil. It is typically served as a top-dressing on grain and other supplemental feeds.
According to the manufacturer, Equine Omega Complete contains non-GMO expeller-pressed soy oil, human-grade fish oil, and 1,200 IU of natural Vitamin E per daily serving. Vitamin E functions as an antioxidant to protect against rancidity and improve shelf-life.
Equine Omega Complete is purported to reduce joint and tissue inflammation, improve gut and skin health, support respiratory function and support healthy hooves. It is also purported to have benefits for horses with allergies, and conditions linked to Vitamin E deficiency, such as Equine Motor Neuron Disease, Equine Protozoal Myelitis, and White Muscle Disease.
By replacing starches in the diet, fat supplements like Equine Omega Complete can improve metabolic health and reduce excitability in horses sensitive to grains. Choosing fat as an energy source also has benefits for gut health, including reducing the risk of hindgut acidosis, ulcers, and colic.
Equine Omega Complete delivers high amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids, including omega-3, -6, and -9 acids. It contains the omega-3 fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicospentanoic acid (EPA) from fish oil, which provide anti-inflammatory effects.
