Fats have become an increasingly important nutrient for horses. Research in the past decade plus has begun to show fats elicit many positive benefits to horses. Specifically, the omega fatty acids have received much of the research attention due to their known positive affects in other species. In this week's podcast we explain what exactly the fatty acids are. We especially focus on the omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and discuss their importance to equine nutrition and health. We explain some of the most current research and just how much of the fatty acids your horses should be receiving in their diet. Finally, we give some tips on how best to maximize your horses' nutrition to ensure they have a proper balance of these omega fatty acids.
