Can you freeze boiled linseed???

[Ginn]

Mum's idea I might add as I think she is fed up of falling over the bag sat in our garage!!!

So could I soak say a week- 10days worth for the usual 24 hours, boil it up, bag/tub it into "feeds" and then freeze it so all I need to do is take the next feeds worth out the freezer each night to defrost? Would make feeding it 100 times easier!!

I understand that by soaking and then boiling it becomes safe to feed so is there any reason why freezing would alter this?

Goodness, I've no idea - never come across this question before!
You can cook it in a microwave - but don't ask me how?

No idea about freezing, but would have though it would be ok as it has had the cooking process.

I personally prefer to use instant linseed - is more expensive, but so much less faff.

i would assume that the cooking process has destroyed the poisons already, but not to take any chances try ringing a professional eg your vet, feed help line, or whoever supplies the linseed

Oh don't worry - next lot will definately be the instant stuff - mum has even offered to pay the difference as she's fed up having her kitchen taken over for cooking the stuff!

I pour boiling water on my linseed and leave it to steam itself overnight in a tupperware tub with the lid on.
