Description

Horses are often fed diets composed entirely of grain mixes and hay. Such diets are rich in omega-6 fatty acids but extremely low in omega-3 fatty acids. If vegetable oil is added to the ration, it further skews the ratio, with omega-6 fatty acids being overrepresented. To help counteract this imbalance, horses should be supplemented with omega-3 fatty acids, the richest sources of which are fish oils.

Kentucky Equine Research developed EO-3™, a potent marine-derived oil that is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. EO-3 is a palatable oil that is top-dressed onto the feed. EO-3 contains the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA. KER has shown EO-3 to be highly palatable when compared to other marine-derived oils.

EO-3 is intended to be fed to horses of all classes and working levels to improve the critical omega-3:omega-6 ratio in their diets.

Why Choose EO-3?

  • Highly palatable flavored marine-derived oil
  • Improves glucose tolerance
  • Strengthens immune function
  • Increases red blood cell flexibility
  • Benefits of DHA- and EPA-mediated inflammatory response include reduction in joint inflammation, allergic reactivity, exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, and exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage
  • Reproductive benefits include improved fertility, improved colostrum quality, enhanced passive transfer of antibodies to foals, and increased sperm concentration, motility, and viability
  • Marine-derived long-chain fatty acids DHA and EPA are more efficiently used as precursors of local hormones than plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids
  • ACVIM consensus statement recommends DHA and EPA supplementation for horses with inflammatory airway disease/equine asthma
  • Provides an anti-inflammatory effect in horses with Equine Glandular Gastric Disease (EGGD) and Recurrent Exertional Rhabdomyolysis (RER), as inflammation is a key part of the disease process
  • Shown in studies to reduce GGT and inflammatory markers in exercising horses

Feeding Directions

Add 1 to 2 oz (30 to 60 mL) to the feed. For best results, introduce EO-3 to the ration gradually over a period of 5 to 10 days.

 

Feeding guidelines for racehorses: Trainers and managers should adhere to the regulations set forth by specific racing jurisdictions prior to using any feed additives or supplements.

Research Proven

Daily intake of EPA and DHA from KER EO-3™ significantly increases red blood cell membrane EPA and DHA, but a similar amount of omega-3 in the form of ALA from flax (linseed) oil does not.
