What is Omegatin®?
The key to successful riding is staying in balance with the horse. Now there is a way to help keep your horse's diet in balance too. It is called OMEGATIN® .
OMEGATIN® represents a unique breakthrough in horse nutrition. With optimum balance of fat, starch, and fiber, it provides substantial energy-while minimizing the risks that can result from over-feeding.
HIGH FAT: MORE ENERGY, LESS RISK
Until recently, to get more energy into a horse, you had to feed more grain. But high intake of a grain diet can cause digestive problems, such as gastric ulcers, colic, and founder. This diet can also cause increased excitability in some horses.
OMEGATIN® replaces energy from the starch in grain with calories from fat. This formulation provides more energy for growth and performance while minimizing the risk of digestive upsets and hyperactivity.
In some high-fat horse rations fat is poured on top. It's slimy, messy and sticky. Other high-fat rations also require supplementation of vitamins and minerals, along with the fat source.
With OMEGATIN® , a patent-pending process allows the pelleting of high-fat ingredients with the necessary protein, mineral, and vitamin sources. The result is a balanced complete grain mix.
You get the benefits and safety of added fat in a complete grain mix with no guessing or mess.
LOWER STARCH MEANS GREATER SAFETY
Some high-fat horse products can contain as much as 50 percent starch. By comparison, OMEGATIN® has a starch content of only 13.5 percent. This is a benefit to horses exhibiting starch sensitivity. With lower starch, OMEGATIN® helps maximize the health and safety advantages of high-fat horse diets.
AN EASY-TO-CHEW PELLET FOR EASILY ABSORBED NUTRITION
OMEGATIN® is a soft, easy-to-chew pellet. Because the pellet is soft, it is ideal for older horses or horses with poor teeth. Horses take to OMEGATIN® easily because it is cherry flavored for palatability.
LOCKED-IN FORMULA
The formula in each pellet is locked. That means you won't have to worry about substitution of cheaper ingredients. A locked formulation also prevents unexpected changes that can trigger digestive upset.
PRECISION NUTRITION IN EVERY BITE
OMEGATIN® is fortified as a complete grain mix. This mean you don't need to supplement with additional protein. OMEGATIN® also contains flax and biotin for healthy hooves and a shiny coat plus trace minerals and vitamins for enhanced immune function. The diet also includes three amino acids defined as the most critical to the equine diet: lysine, threonine and methionine.
OMEGATIN® additionally contains yucca. Yucca helps reduce ammonia odors in confined areas and is known as an herbal treatment for arthritis.
NATURAL ANTIOXIDANTS KEEP OUR INGREDIENTS FRESH
Unnatural preservatives are something many modern horse owners prefer to avoid. That's why OMEGATIN® keeps its nutrition fresh with natural antioxidants, tocopherols, and citric acid.
HELPS FOALS GROW BIGGER, SAFELY.
OMEGATIN® provides safe, superior nutrition for young, growing foals. Because of its low starch, high-fat and fiber composition, OMEGATIN® may help minimize developmental orthopedic diseases in rapidly growing foals. Active youngsters receive maximum nutrition to help them grow bigger, safely.
