What are you experiences? I'm looking to feed for energy over the winter with sugar beet. I'm not sure what's most cost effective 🤔

Micronised. You need to supplement oil with viatim E. Micronised provides protein, oil just give calories.

Micronised. A bag of it lasts forever. My horse won’t touch anything with oil on.

She's on a blue chip balancer so vit e is covered. I was just looking at omega 3/6 research and rape seed oil may be a viable alternative at 1:2 ratio of omega 3 to 6

Linseed has the best ratio of omega 3:6 for horses

Look at David Marlin for vit E requirements for oils. You will probably need to add more even if you are on a balancer
