pure Micronised Linseed or Baileys Outshine?

Hi, I am interested to hear what people would prefer feeding out of the above and why? I have been using Outshine for nearly a year now and it seems to really be doing my mare good but I am hoping to cut down cost of feeding her and have been recommended that feeding linseed meal is a good idea to add oil to the diet which is what I need to feed mine. It comes at around £25 a 20kg bag at local feed shop as opposed to £38 of the outshine. Any thoughts? Have liked the Outshine as I feel it is balanced out with nutrients/ vitamins. Thanks for your thoughts.

I prefer linseed, as the outshine is 20% starch. I did try outshine once, but tbh have found my horses' coats are much softer and velvety on linseed.

Oh, thank you that's interesting about the starch. How much linseed meal do you feed per day?

At the moment they're not getting any, as I ran out & one is fat & the TB's spot on (have noticed the difference in their coats since stopping it though ). Usually the fatboy gets about 50g, and the TB anything from 100g to 400g, depending on whether he needs to put on weight or not.

Having used both with my TB I would say the linseed was far superior, the outshine barely seemed to do much
