Oils and fats seem to confuse a lot of horse owners, and because of this, terminology such as "Omega 3 oils" are used a lot but without understanding what they are. As a result, horses are fed a lot of oils with good intentions for their health. But does it?
This podcast reviews what fatty acids are: saturated, monounsaturated (MUFAs) and polyunsaturated (PUFAs) fatty acids (fat). It also goes over where horses get their fat out in the "wild." It is not fish or fish oils, flax or other seeds and seed oils. Once understood, horse owners will understand what to feed horses to get the fats they need to survive and thrive.
Hint: Horses are natural vegetarians, not omnivores like us or carnivores.
