The majority of fat contained in commercial feed is processed fat containing trans fatty acids.
After the introduction of Omega-3 in the diet, due to the enhanced hormonal profiles, mares will cycle sooner, more consistently, and will get in foal more easily.
All of the benefits are passed to a foal in utero because Omega-3 fatty acids are passed through breast milk. 17,18
Dr. Donald Rudin19 states: "There is no comparable substitute for the remarkable mix of nutrients and immunity-boosting factors provided by mother's milk, as long as the mother is eating properly."
Researchers from the Mayo Clinic Study 17 suggest that Omega-3 fatty acids should be supplemented in every pregnancy, and that processed fats be avoided.
The enhanced integrity of joint and connective tissue and the increased |
bone density should be considered for a foal in utero and as a weanling when optimal development is so crucial.
A deficiency in Omega-3's causes insufficient milk production and breast engorgement. 18,5
EFA-3 must be fed to your broodmare on an ongoing basis. EFA-3 works on a cumulative process. The longer it is in the system, the better the system will be. A foal born from an environment rich in essential fatty acids will show results from all the benefits discussed in this publication.
You as an owner and breeder will be way ahead of the game!
