Re: [RC] flax seed - sehredt

Flax, flax, flax!  LOL  What is up with this stuff?  Other than talking about 
a "shinier coat," I haven't heard what benefit it provides to the horse.  Okay, 
maybe I am a little nutritionally ignorant here, I guess, but will someone 
please post to tell us WHY they feed this supplement?
:o)

==========================================

The only site I have found that has anything negative to say about feeding 
flax seed...  

http://horsecare.stablemade.com/articles2/flax.htm

Several sites state that the raw seeds contain small amounts of cyanogenic 
glucosides, which can be toxic if consumed in large quantities.  However, I 
havn't found any sites that define large quantities...
