Micronised Linseed

[jnb]

I have fed this before - Charnwoods.
However my local feed store now only stock a different brand, says its £18 a sack instead of £25ish. I noticed a comment in another feed thread that the person would only feed Charnwoods, can anyone advise if they're all the same or why Charnwoods might be better?
Thank you

I feed charnwoods - but its £15 for 20kgs. Not £25! I accept I do only feed charnwoods, but thats becuase it does the job and its cheap. Not for any other reason.

What is the different brand and how much does the sack weigh?

Is the other brand Marriage’s Linseed? I posted a thread about that a few years ago.

Upshot was that I changed suppliers to one who still sold Charnwoods. I have to pay £25ish per bag delivered as I can’t get it locally - it’s worth it though .

I like science supplements, it’s fortified with calcium to correct the calcium : phosphorus ratio and has vitamin E to reduce oxidative damage potentially caused by high fat diets.
A bit more expensive but they do well on it ?

A bit more expensive? Science Supplements micronised linseed - RRP £55.52 for 15kg (£44.99 from Viovet) .

I add vit E separately to Charnwoods .

I actually need to come off this forum. I've just bought some linseed and now I'm worrying that it's going to kill them. As well as worrying about the hundred and a million other things this place has enlightened me too.

Ignorance. I want it back!

I use the feed shops brand which I think Is Omega or something like that. It’s the same as far as I can see and certainly looks and smells like it.

£35 for 15kg directly from Science Supplements website - still expensive but better than £55!

Bloody hell, she definitely wouldn’t be getting it at that price! ?
That’s a bit rich ?
I pay £31 something for it, saves me having to work out vit e amounts and adding to the stack of tubs in the feed room ?

I used to get mine from Graven Horse Feeds as it was cheaper than Charnwood.
