Veteran Posts: 178 Location: IL	I recently discovered it is bad for your horses? I guess I was unaware of this, or maybe just not well informed. Can anyone help me understand why...? I was told to use this by a vet for weight gain/hair coat on a yearling. Maybe she is "old school"? TIA Edited by Kizzy_177 2016-04-18 2:01 PM

Did I miss the party? Posts: 3864	It's the type of fatty acid it provides. Corn is high in omega 6 which is believed to lead to inflammation. You want something that's higher in omega 3 than 6. Such as Flax for example.
