Omega-3 in practice – RC O3 Algae oil
What is Omega-3?
Omega-3 is an important fatty acid that the horse cannot produce itself.
In nature, horses get omega-3 from fresh grass - but when they are fed wrap, hay or other roughage, some of the omega-3 may have been lost, or if they are given crib feed with a lot of grain or seed oils with a lot of omega-6, an imbalance can easily occur.
How much should my horse have?
👉 Dosage per 100 kg body weight per day:
- Maintenance: 2.5–5ml
- Competition/therapeutic: 5–10 ml
- Skin problems (e.g. summer periods): 10 ml
➡️ A horse of 500 kg typically gets 12.5–25-50 ml daily , depending on needs.
Important to know
- Every Day Happy contains only a little omega-3 from flaxseed and Supreme Minerals does not contain omega-3 → here you give RC O3 Algae Oil alongside if your horse needs extra.
- Peak Performance already contains RC O3 Algae Oil → normally you don't need to add extra.
- If the horse is picky about the taste: Start with a small dose and increase slowly – or give it directly into the mouth as a deworming treatment.
When is RC O3 Algae Oil an advantage?
- For daily feeding: helps ensure a balance between omega-3 and omega-6
- During training and performance: supports recovery and energy utilization
- For fur, skin and hooves: can be seen as shiny fur, healthy skin and stronger hooves
- For the immune system: provides the body with better conditions to function optimally
👉 RC O3 Algae Oil is a simple tool to give the horse the omega-3 fatty acids it may otherwise lack in daily feeding.
