Sunflower Oil - Feed Ingredient

Sunflower oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the sunflower plant (Helianthus annuus). It is primarily composed of unsaturated fatty acids, with high levels of linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid) and varying amounts of oleic acid, depending on the type of sunflower oil used.

In equine nutrition, sunflower oil is used as an energy-dense feed ingredient, providing a concentrated source of calories. Due to its high omega-6 content, it is typically balanced with omega-3 sources to support an optimal fatty acid ratio in the diet.

The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Sunflower Oil as an ingredient.
