EO-3™

£76.99

EO-3™ is a unique source of omega-3 fatty acids, DHA and EPA, derived from marine sources that can help maintain an optimal omega-3: omega-6 fatty acid ratio in equine diets

Increases omega-3 : 6 ratio for a better nutritional balance

Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids must be balanced within the body for both to be effective. The optimal ratio is thought to be 2 to 4:1. These essential fatty acids cannot be made by the horse and have to be supplied by their diet

Superior Source of Omega-3 Compared to Plant Sources

Plant-derived omega-3’s are converted in the body from their basic form to more complex and highly effective forms. Marine-derived omega-3 sources supply these more complex forms directly into the body without requiring inefficient conversion processes

Inflammatory Response

The omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA are precursors of inflammatory compounds that have a milder inflammatory response than those from omega-6 fatty acids, which are considered 'pro-inflammatory' by comparison

Coat and skin conditioner

Research has shown positive effects on coat condition, allergic reactivity and skin sensitivity for horses fed on EO-3™ oil

Breeding Support

Supplementing with omega-3 fatty acids has been shown to support sperm motility and viability in stallions, as well as fertility and colostrum quality in broodmares

Supporting Joint Health

The benefits of DHA- and EPA-mediated inflammatory response include a marked reduction in joint inflammation

Suitable for

Performance horses on high-cereal, low-pasture diets. Broodmares to support fertility and colostrum quality, which directly aids foal immune function. Stallions to assist sperm motility and viability. Supporting joint health. Positive effects on coat condition, allergic reactivity and skin sensitivity

Features

A potent and unique marine-derived source of omega-3 fatty acids, DHA and EPA. EO-3™ is stabilised and flavoured, resulting in increased palatability when compared to other marine-derived oils. It strengthens immune function, improves glucose tolerance

Ingredient	Quantity
Omega-3 Fatty Acids	35%
EPA & DHA	25%
Omega-6 Fatty Acids	3%
Omega 3: Omega 6 Ratio	12: 1

Equine athletes supplemented with EO-3™ have been shown to have a reduced inflammatory response post-exercise. If vegetable oils are added to a diet, they can skew the omega-3: omega-6 ratio with omega-6 fatty acids often being overrepresented. Adding the correct type of oil means a reduction in the overall levels of omega-6 to get the correct ratio and balance of the total diet right

EO-3® Feeding Rate

Top-dress EO-3™ onto the concentrate feed. For best results, gradually introduce EO-3™ into the diet over 5-7 days and divide equally between the daily feeds.

Workload	Feeding Rate
Light & Medium work	30-60 ml per day
Heavy work	60-120 ml per day
Recovering from illness	60-120 ml per day
Breeding Stallions	60-120 ml per day
Coat & skin condition	45-60 ml per day
