[RC] Rancid Oil - shermanTitle: MessageI don't recall ever
reading anywhere that corn oil can go rancid in the horse's stomach. There are
several online articles about why corn oil is not the best fat to supplement
with, mostly the inflammatory qualities of the omega 6 fatty
acids.
This is a good
article from Smartpak on feeding oils... http://www.smartpakequine.com/Articles.aspx?ArticleName=promotethecoat
There are many
interesting articles on the net about omega 3 & 6 and what the horses need
in this respect. Seems they get plenty of 3s from grasses, but cutting and
baling destroys the omega 3 and not the 6, so then a supplement of 3s is needed
for balancing.
