KER EO-3® Oil

Concentrated Direct Source Of DHA And EPA Omega 3-Fatty Acids

EO-3 is a rich source of the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA in a palatable liquid form.

EO-3 can be fed to all classes of horses including foals, breeding stock, and performance horses to improve the critical ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids in the diet. 

EO-3 provides preferential precursors for production of anti-inflammatory local hormones and regulates gene expression to positively affect insulin sensitivity.

New minty apple EO-3 is four times as palatable as the original. Along with a research-proven flavour update, a more highly refined base oil eliminates compounds that can increase fish odors over time, without altering beneficial fatty acids. Read the research behind this product update. 

Why use EO-3?

• Ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 is 8:1
• Benefits of DHA- and EPA-mediated inflammatory response include reduction in joint inflammation, allergic reactivity, Equine Asthma (IAD, RAO)
• Improves glucose tolerance
• Strengthens immune function
• Increases red blood cell flexibility, which reduces the risk of exercise induced pulmonary haemorrhage (EIPH)
• Reproductive benefits include improved fertility and colostrum quality, enhanced passive transfer of antibodies to foals, and increased sperm concentration, motility, and viability
• Highly refined fish oil with minty apple flavour for 4x improved palatability
  

When to use EO-3

• Horses in intense work
• Horses with EIPH (bleeders)
• Horses on high-grain diets, or omega-6 skewed diets
• Horses with joint inflammation
• Horses with allergies and skin conditions
• Horses with metabolic syndrome
• Horses with fertility concerns, including stallions and mares around breeding time and for lactating mares and mares in late pregnancy
  

Not all Omega 3 Sources are Equal!

EO-3 contains more long-chain omega 3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) compared to other omega 3 supplements.

Feeding Recommendations

Add 30 mL per day to the feed of 500-kg horses and 15 mL per day for ponies.

Recommended daily intake may be increased based on size of horse, blood fatty acid analysis results, or on the advice of your veterinarian or nutritionist.

For best results, introduce EO-3 to the ration gradually over a period of 5 to 10 days.

Plant-based supplements contain omega 3 fatty acids in the short-chain form and the conversion in horses to the long-chained form of EPA and DHA is not very efficient.

EO-3 has a total omega 3:6 ratio of 8:1, compared to a linseed which is 3:1 and canola oil which is 1:1.5. Adding just 30ml of EO-3 will provide more benefits associated with omega 3 supplementation than a plant-based supplement.
