53. Feeding Canola Oil to Horses

Canola oil is a calorie-dense fat commonly used in the equine diet to promote weight gain and help maintain body condition.

This oil provides cool energy for performance horses and can replace grain-based feeds in your horse’s ration to support metabolic health. Feeding fat also improves coat quality and can support gut health.

Compared to other oils, canola oil is relatively affordable and widely available. However, some horse owners might not want to feed this oil due to its fatty acid profile.

Canola oil is primarily comprised of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids and contains more than twice the amount of omega-6 fatty acids compared to omega-3 fatty acids.

The balance of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids in the diet is important because omega-3s are converted into anti-inflammatory molecules, whereas omega-6s are converted primarily into pro-inflammatory compounds.

This podcast reviews benefits of canola oil for horses with an emphasis on weight gain.
