What difference is there between feeding ground linseed or Outshine other than price. Does Outshine contain more balanced oils?

It has both omega 3 - from linseed and omega 6 - from soya oils, plus probotics and various vits and mins as I understand it.
I feed mine for a lot less of the cost compared to Outshine which is £33 for a 20 k bag.
I buy 50 k of linseed (£23 for 25 k sack) and 25 k (£40) sack of brewers yeast at a time which with delivery is £108 from Charnwood. I also feed black sunflower seeds - high in omega 6 which I pay £20 for 20k from my local feed merchant.
This combination gives me omega 3 and 6 oil, probiotic and also is great for helping my horses SI. If I also need a bit more weight, I can choose to up just the linseed element.
Finally I feed fibre products rather than cereal products and Outshine has wheat in it.
However, I do take time mixing up my various bits and bobs and to use Outshine would take less time.

Thanks for that Teresa, does that mean that the pure linseed does not have omega 6 in it.
A lot of people seem to feed just linseed but are they leaving something out. My mare has Pink Powder in her feed and Alfa a oil and No. 4 cubes.
She is aTB so I need to watch the weight although at present she is looking very well.

Linseed is omega 3, this is why I also like to feed the BSS for omega 6, plus the BSS help to give very hard feet and a dark coat.
What are you wanting to achieve? As well as having glossy coats etc for the show ring, I also feed linseed as it is excellent for joint health, digestion and as I feed only forage products, compliments this way of feeding.
As you say many folks just feed linseed, I feed the other stuff for SI and foot health.
