Micronised linseed - what to do with it?

[Achinghips]

Is it cost effective? From Charnwood Mill? Is it in pellet form? Do you soak it, if so, for how long? or add it dry to existing feed? Is it good for barefoot? Does it have any calories, thus do I need to reduce existing food? Thanks

It's like a coarse powder and I just add it to my horses regular feed, how much you feed depends on the horse and why you are feeding it It's very cheap to feed compared to other similar products

it has quite a lot of calories in it, so if you want weight gain you can feed upwards of 2 mugs per day. for a bit of coat shine 1/2 to 1 mug per day is sufficient!

speak to Oberon regarding barefoot - but I believe the answer is yes, in the right diet.

doesn't need soaking, just stirring into the feed!

It is extremely cost effective and if you can then try to get your feed merchant to buy it in so it will save you on postg costs.

It is brilliant for weight gain which I what I use it for over winter. I then reduce the amount over summer. It's great for cost, skin and feet and an excellent addition to a barefoot diet. I add men to fast fibre and my girl has never looked better.

It comes in a powered form so you basically add it to the feed and stir it in. Very simple.

I cannot recommend it highly enough!
