Top spec linseed mash vs micronised linseed

What’s everyone’s opinions?

What situation are you wanting one or the other for?

If your are trying to add calories, then micronsied linseed is better its lasts longet as you can feed less. The mash is bulked out with bran etc

The mash smells delicious and helps encourage my faddy horse to eat, also adds water to the diet

IIRC Topspec mash contains soya, which is something I try to avoid - although mixed with linseed I suppose the omega 6 is balanced out, but I'd rather feed pure linseed to get maximum benefit from the omega 3. I also try to avoid buying imported feed where possible, especially when growing it might have had an impact on rainforest.

If its for calories for condition or for omega 3 benefits over winter, then micronised is the best

If you want a mash I just mix micronised linseed with speedibeet which works out cheaper I think and no filler.

I would just buy micronised linseed and feed with unmolassed sugar beet much cheaper than buying it pre mixed and it will last you much longer.
