Strictly Equine Wheat Germ Oil Blend -4L

Wheat Germ and Soyabean Oil Blend is an excellent source of essential fatty acids, as well as Vitamins A, D and E. Vitamin A supports vision, reproductive functions, lining of mucosal membranes and immunity. It is made in the gastrointestinal tract from Beta Carotene. However, if horses did not have access to fresh forage, Vitamin A supplementation will be required. Adding fat to top dress a feeding program is an excellent way to improve body condition for those hard keepers, high performance, special needs and senior horses. Fat is energy dense and provides more than twice the kcals per gram (9kcal per gram) compared to carbohydrates and protein, (both provide 4 kcals per gram). In essence, a horse would have to consume more than twice the volume in grain to gain the equivalent calories provided by fat.
