Salmon oil
Fish oil · DHA/EPA
Mechanism
Lachs-/Fischöl liefert die langkettigen Omega-3-Fettsäuren EPA und DHA. Diskutiert werden Effekte auf die entzündliche Balance, Haut/Fell und Gelenkkomfort. Akzeptanz und Nachhaltigkeit (marine Herkunft, Schadstoff-/Oxidationskontrolle) sind zu beachten; viele Betriebe bevorzugen Algenöl.
Cautions
- · Species-alien feed: the horse is a strict herbivore. Fish oil is an approved feed material but is not part of the natural diet of the species. Algae oil delivers the same EPA and DHA — the same marine origin of the fatty acids, without an animal product.
- · Acceptance varies
- · Watch oxidative stability and contaminant control
