Oils & Fat Supplements for Horses

View a list of oil and fat supplements for horses in Mad Barn’s equine feed database. Oil and fat supplements provide a concentrated source of cool calories and essential fatty acids, supplying energy without the starch and sugar found in grain. They are used to support body condition, weight gain, and coat quality, and are commonly chosen for hard keepers, performance horses, and horses that need extra calories without the excitability associated with high-starch feeds.

Common ingredients include plant oils such as flaxseed, soybean, canola, and camelina oil, rice bran and rice bran oil, stabilized flax, and marine or algal sources of the omega-3 fatty acid DHA. Many also supply vitamin E to complement their fat content. Compare fat source and omega-3 content, calorie density, feeding directions, cost per serving, and nutritional profiles to find a supplement that fits your horse’s needs.
