Linseed

Linseed is a natural powerhouse of Omega-3 fatty acids, making it an essential dietary addition for horses, dogs, cats, pigeons, and poultry. Regular supplementation supports immune function, joint health, hoof strength, and coat condition, ensuring optimal well-being. It also aids in endurance performance, helping animals maintain energy, flexibility, and resilience during physical exertion.

Renowned for its anti-inflammatory and healing properties, linseed is often used to strengthen bones, support ligament flexibility, and promote recovery from injuries. Additionally, its demulcent and mild laxative effects help prevent sand and impaction colic, making it particularly valuable for horses kept on sandy terrain. Linseed also soothes allergic dermatitis, including Sweet Itch, reducing irritation and promoting skin health.
