Omega-3 Supplements for Horses

View a list of omega-3 supplements for horses in Mad Barn’s equine feed database. Omega-3 fatty acids are dietary fats involved in cell membrane structure, skin and coat quality, immune function, reproductive health, respiratory function, and normal inflammatory balance.

Omega-3 sources differ by fatty acid type. Fresh pasture, flaxseed, chia, camelina oil, and other plant-based ingredients primarily supply alpha-linolenic acid, or ALA. Marine and algae-based ingredients can supply the longer-chain omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid, or EPA, and docosahexaenoic acid, or DHA.

EPA and DHA are incorporated directly into cell membranes and are associated with many of the physiological effects commonly attributed to omega-3 supplementation. Use this database to compare supplement sources, feeding directions, guaranteed analyses, and nutritional profiles across plant-based, marine, algae, and DHA- or EPA-enriched formulas.
