Product Description

This product is fed to aid weight gain and improve coat and condition and provide omega-3’s. It is full-fat soybeans that we extrude on-site making a cooked, easily digestible soybean crumble with no oils removed, and flax seed meal to provide omega-3 fatty acids.

If you’re looking to add soy to your horse’s diet, be sure to check the labels as most products have the oil extracted and sold separately.

Soybeans have gotten a bad rep in the horse world. However, they are a great “cool” feed stuff for your horse. Soybeans, when processed and fed correctly, are a great source of protein and fat for your horse. They are also a great source of phosphorus, low in fiber, and are highly digestible. To get the most benefit for your horse, consider what type of soy you are feeding your horse. For the greatest benefit to your horse, make sure you are feeding full-fat extruded soybeans.

Extruded soybeans provide an excellent balance of essential amino acids, and are high in lysine (the first limiting amino acid for horses). Horse Guard Inc. uses only full-fat extruded soybeans in our soybean-based products. The feed stuff provides your horse with high levels of protein and fat, approximately 35% protein and 20% fat. Do not attempt to feed your horse raw soybeans. Processing is needed to denature urease and trypsin inhibitor, which act as anti-nutritional components. The extrusion process also breaks down the primary bond holding the chain of amino acids together making them more easily digestible to the horse.

The process of extrusion increases digestibility by as much as 30% compared to pelleted products, and as much as 40% compared to whole grains. Extruded feeds also encourage chewing, which in turn increases saliva production. Saliva contains buffers which are essential for preventing gastric ulcers.

A less desirable soybean product for horses is soybean meal. Soybean meal is the most common form of soy used in horse feeds. Soybean “meal” is a by-product of soybean oil extraction. In order to extract the oil one of two processes is used; pressure or solvent extracted. Solvent extracted is the most common extraction process to create soybean meal, which can leave chemical residues behind. The feed is high in protein but the energy from the fat of the oil has been reduced down to approximately 5%.

Other forms of soybeans that can be fed to horses are roasted soybeans, micronized soybeans, soybean flour, and soybean flakes. Although much less common than extruded soybeans or soybean meal, these are high-quality feed stuffs that are high in protein and fat.

Benefits of Flax and Soy

Omega 3 and Omega 6 Facts

Omega-3 fatty acids have general anti-inflammatory, anti-thrombotic, anti-hypertensive, and anti-arrhythmic effects in the body. Omega-6 fatty acids have the opposite effects on the body. Western diets are typically higher in omega-6 fatty acids. Therefore, feed your horse with our Flaxen products, made from flax seed, to provide your horse with omega-3 fatty acid supplementation.

Flax Seed Facts:

Another “cool” energy feed stuff is flax seed (also known as linseed). While whole flax seeds can be fed to horses, the process of grinding flax seed breaks the hard shell open, allowing your horse to get more nutritional value. Stabilized ground flax seed is high in protein and fat, approximately 36% and 40%, respectively. The fat from ground flax seed is also high in omega-3 fatty acids, providing anti-inflammatory properties. Flax seed meal has had the oil extracted either from pressure. Flax seed meal contains 30-36% crude protein. It is important to note that flax seed, in any form, although high in many amino acids is low in lysine. Therefore, flax seed should not be fed as the only protein supplement for horses. It is best to pair it with a feed stuff that is high in lysine, such as full fat extruded soybeans.
