Features:
- Research has demonstrated that offering Omega 3 fatty acids in the diet of mares will result in the mare cycling sooner and more consistently
- Supplemental DHA may be most beneficial for stallions of marginal fertility, by improving motion characteristics of sperms
- Increased sperm concentration
- Eliminate lactic acid more readily. Performance horses depend heavily on anaerobic glycolysis for energy consumption and fatigue is most likely to result from lactic acid accumulation. Flax Oil reduces this build up and also balance the increased production of the enzymes and hormones involved in the performance which increases speed and endurance.
- General antioxidant benefits. Trials have shown the effects to include a reduction in blood viscosity (reduce packed cell volume), lower heart rate and improve oxygen flow to muscles and thus help to reduce muscle damage in performance horses.

Editorial Review:
Omega-3 fatty acids are good fats that are essential for optimal health. Like humans, horses must obtain omega-3 from the diet as it is not produced in the body. EPA and DHA are the active forms of omega-3 required by the body to perform vital functions. Insufficient omega-3 intake can have a significant impact on overall health. Supplemental omega-3 fatty acids are thought to help with numerous inflammatory conditions specific to horses including laminitis and skin sensitivity to insects such as Culicoides (also known as pruritis). Reproductive advantages of Probimax EZ Mate encapsulated omega-3 fatty acids are abundant. Stallions supplemented with EPA and DHA showed a significant boost in the number of normally shaped sperm and a rise in the concentration of spermatozoa in the semen. Positive effects on sperm viability and motility have also been demonstrated. Supplementation of pregnant mares with DHA and EPA confers benefits to the developing fetus since the placenta may be responsible for providing DHA and EPA to the fetal nervous system. Mares effectively incorporate these fatty acids into their milk, so supplementation of the mare provides for the suckling foal. Broodmares on diets high in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids may produce richer colostrum. Studies have shown that foals of supplemented mares seemed to have a stronger immune system than foals suckling mares not fed omega-3 fatty acids.
