A rich source of the 3 critical Omega 3 fatty acids - Linolenic Acid, EPA and DHA In many equine diets the Omega 3: Omega 6 ratio is out of balance, affecting the wellbeing and performance of the horse. Omega 3 oils are a group of unsaturated fatty acids that cannot be produced by the horse. To benefit from these oils they need to be supplemented in the diet. For the Omega 3 oil to be utilized effectively and efficiently it should contain the valuable longer chain fatty acids, Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These Omega 3 fatty acids are only found in fish oil. PERFORMA 3® Oil contains fish oil, allowing the horse to derive the full benefits of the oil immediately. Plant sources of Omega 3 oils contain Linolenic acid that needs to be converted to EPA and DHA before it can be utilized by the horse.
