Micronised Full Fat Linseed
Micronised full fat linseed is whole linseed that has been cooked by micronising, so it can be fed straight from the bag without the hours of boiling a traditional linseed mash needs. Linseed is high in oil and rich in plant-based omega-3, making it a concentrated, cereal-free source of energy for condition and coat shine in horses and ponies. 20kg bag.
Key features
- Micronising makes the seed easier to digest and destroys linase, the enzyme in raw linseed that can release hydrogen cyanide when wet
- Plant-based omega-3, which helps balance the omega-6 in cereal-based mixes and cubes
- Oil releases its energy slowly, so it is less likely than cereals to cause over-excitable behaviour
- Can be fed straight or mixed into an existing feed
Feeding
Feeding rates are on the bag. Always have fresh water available.

Common questions
Is micronised linseed safe to feed without boiling?
Yes. Micronising cooks the seed and destroys the linase in raw linseed, so it is ready to feed.
Why feed linseed to a horse?
It adds slow-release oil energy for condition and is rich in omega-3, which is linked to a shiny coat.
