Balanced
levels of essential fatty acids, linoleic (omega-6) and linolenic
(omega-3), in Select Wheat Germ Oil blend insure a healthy,
lustrous hair coat.
In addition to improving the bloom on your horse, Select
Wheat Germ Oil blend is also an excellent way to add energy
to the diet. Increasing dietary energy from fat is a very
safe way to add calories and often results in a decrease in
the grain portion of the ration. Lowering the grain intake
usually means an increase in roughage intake. Soluble carbohydrates that may
reach the cecum of the horse can alter the microbial population
in the lower digestive tract resulting in founder.
Another
benefit to additional dietary fat may include improved performance
for horses performing aerobic and anaerobic exercise. Body fat
is more efficiently used in horses receiving high fat diets,
this spares liver and muscle glycogen needed for anaerobic metabolism.
