Fish Oil and Corn Oil Supplementation Affect Red Blood Cell and Serum Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) Concentrations in Thoroughbred Horses
Horses require both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in their diets. Long-chain omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are intermediate in the formation of eicosanoids that have been shown to reduce inflammatory responses, support immune function, and enhance fertility. This study was conducted to compare the effect of supplementation with oil […]
