Why Feed Chia Seeds?

Chia seeds contain approximately 42% fibre and are naturally rich in essential fatty acids, protein and antioxidants. Their soluble fibre content forms a gel when mixed with water, helping to support hydration and digestive function throughout the gastrointestinal tract.

Chia seeds are also a valuable source of plant-based Omega 3 (ALA), helping support a healthy immune response, skin condition, coat shine and overall health. The slow absorption of nutrients from chia seeds makes them a suitable option for horses requiring low-sugar feeding programs.

• Performance and competition horses.

• Senior horses.
• Poor doers requiring additional condition.
• Horses needing digestive support.
• Horses on low-starch or low-sugar diets.
• Horses and ponies with metabolic concerns.
