Omega Equine Seaweed – Natural Horse Supplement

Omega Equine Seaweed

Dried seaweed is one of the densest natural mineral sources you can put in a bucket, and Omega sell it straight — 100% seaweed, nothing blended in. It carries amino acids, vitamins, minerals and trace elements, and Omega declare crude ash at 17.2%, which is the figure that tells you how mineral-rich it actually is.

Omega feed 50g a day to a horse and 25g to a pony. On their 2kg pack that is roughly 40 days for a horse or 80 for a pony; the 10kg pack runs to about 200 and 400 days respectively. Omega describe it as palatable and competition safe.

Performance & Benefits

• 100% seaweed, with nothing else in the bag.
• Declared crude ash 17.2%, reflecting a high natural mineral and trace element content.
• Supplies amino acids, vitamins, minerals and trace elements from a marine source.
• Omega link it to muscle and bone health, metabolism and nervous system function.
• Omega describe it as palatable and competition safe.
• A low daily rate, so a bag lasts months.

Suitable For

• Horses in hard work, where Omega particularly recommend it.
• Youngstock and stallions at stud, again Omega's own recommendation.
• Horses on a forage-only diet needing trace element support.
• Owners who want a single natural ingredient rather than a synthetic mineral premix.
• Not recommended for mares in late pregnancy — Omega state this explicitly. For a broad natural supplement without that restriction, Omega Equine Vitality is the alternative.

Feeding

• Horses: 50g daily.
• Ponies: 25g daily.
• At those rates a 2kg pack lasts approximately 40 days for a horse or 80 days for a pony; a 10kg pack, approximately 200 and 400 days.
• Do not exceed the recommended rate.
• Mix into the daily feed with fresh water always available.
• Omega supply Seaweed in 2kg and 10kg. This listing does not state a pack size in its title — check the variant before ordering.

Composition & Analysis

• Composition: seaweed, 100%.
• Analytical constituents: crude ash 17.2%. Omega publish no crude protein, crude fibre, crude oil or sodium figure for this product, so none is stated here.
• Omega supply it in 2kg and 10kg packs.

Care & Caution

• Omega state that Seaweed is not recommended for mares in late pregnancy.
• Seaweed is naturally high in iodine. Count it alongside any other iodine source in the diet, including a broad-spectrum balancer, and do not feed two seaweed-based products together.
• Do not exceed Omega's published rate of 50g a day for a horse.
