Omega Equine Linseed Meal – Horse Conditioning Supplement

Omega Equine Linseed Meal

Micronised linseed meal is the mess-free way to feed linseed: no boiling, no soaking, no pan on the tack room stove. Omega cook the seed briefly with infrared heat, which they say removes the toxins raw linseed carries, then grind it to a meal that goes straight into the feed.

Omega declare 37% crude fats and oils against 23% crude protein and 7% crude fibre, which is why showing yards use it: calories and coat from oil rather than starch, plus enough protein to build topline. It is fed at 100g to 200g a day, so a 3kg pack lasts about 15 to 30 days.

Performance & Benefits

• Micronised and ready to feed — no boiling and no overnight soaking.
• Declared 37% crude fats and oils, high in omega-3.
• 23% crude protein, which supports topline rather than just fat cover.
• Low in starch and sugar, so it conditions without cereal-driven fizz.
• Omega name zinc, vitamin B1, manganese, magnesium, phosphorus and copper among its natural constituents.
• A fine meal that mixes cleanly into a damp feed.

Suitable For

• Showing horses being prepared for the ring.
• Horses needing condition and coat shine without excitable energy.
• Older horses that have lost cover and need calories from oil.
• Horses with sensitive metabolisms where low starch and sugar matters.
• For a yard feeding several horses, the Omega Equine Linseed Meal 20kg bag costs far less per kilogram.

Feeding

• Feed 100g to 200g daily, according to the size and condition of the horse or pony.
• At the top rate of 200g a day a 3kg pack lasts about 15 days; at 100g a day, about 30 days.
• Introduce gradually over a week or so, as with any change to the oil content of a ration.
• Ensure constant access to fresh, clean water.
• Omega supply linseed meal in 3kg and 20kg. This listing does not state a pack size in its title — check the variant before ordering.
