Nutrient Highlight: Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Omega-3 fatty acids play a significant role in equine nutrition due to their part in multiple applications including support for bone growth, reproduction and fertility.

  • Foals: For growing babies, omega-3 fatty acids are important to support normal bone mineral development.
  • Broodmares: Omega-3 fatty acids are important for pregnant mares to support uterine health, colostrum quality and maintain passive transfer of antibodies to foals.
  • Stallions: The quality of a stallion's semen plays a major role in fertility and depends on the dietary intake and incorporation of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly DHA, into the sperm plasma membrane as semen consists of significant amounts of fatty acids.
