Kentucky Equine Research EO-3: Source of Omega-3 Fatty Acids DHA and EPA for Horses, 1 Gal (128 Servings)

Description

What Is EO-3™? EO-3™ is a rich source of the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA in a palatable liquid form for horses. EO-3™ can be fed to all classes of horses, including foals, breeding stock, and performance horses to improve the critical ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 in the diet. The equine athlete that is provided EO-3™ can benefit from the difference in inflammatory response. In addition, marine-derived omega-3s have also demonstrated benefits to the cardiovascular system, reproductive performance, and bone development in numerous research studies in several species. Why Should I Use Marie-Derived Omega-3s for My Horse? Improves glucose tolerance Strengthens immune function Increases red blood cell flexibility for respiratory health and performance Enhances bone metabolism and development Benefits of DHA- and EPA-mediated inflammatory response include reduction in joint inflammation, allergic reactivity, exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, and exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhageReproductive 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 such as flax or chia Feeding Directions: Add 1 to 2 oz (30 to 60 mL) to the feed of growing horses, broodmares, and performance horses in light to moderate work daily. Horses in heavy work, breeding stallions, and those recovering from an illness or injury may be fed 2 to 4 oz (60 to 120 mL) per day. Start with an introductory dose of 1/2 oz (15 mL) or less and gradually increase over a period of 7-10 days.
