Linseed oil from Linum Usitatissimum Linaceae seeds is a pure, unrefined, cold-pressed oil, gently pressed from the finest linseeds. It is a very high-quality source of essential omega-3 α-linolenic and oleic acids as well as omega-6 linoleic acid, in an optimal ratio of 3:1. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for healthy growth and development.

Careful production, the highest quality control standards and freshness mean that the oil is in its original state with maximum nutritional benefit and a mild taste that your animals will enjoy. VITAR Veterinae cold-pressed linseed oil is an excellent way to add omega-3 α-linolenic and oleic acids as well as omega-6 linoleic acid, in an optimal ratio of 3:1, to your animals' diet. Modern feeds for all animals tend to increase omega-6 levels in their diet, so they need omega-3 for basic balance and health.

Linseed oil has a high proportion of omega-3, 6 unsaturated fatty acids (linolenic acid 52–63%), which are very important for the organism. The proportion of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) in particular is essential for animals. Linseed oil is important for maintaining healthy skin and a healthy, shiny coat. It makes shedding easier. It has positive effects on the brain, heart and blood vessels, reduces nervousness, supports immunity, and is beneficial for maintaining the long-term health of animals. Linseed oil also supports digestion and improves reproductive ability.

Linseed oil is used as a supportive treatment for chronic inflammatory conditions. These include allergies, kidney and heart disease and arthritis.

Unsaturated fatty acid content:

oleic acid 11–35%
linoleic acid 11–24%
α-linolenic acid 35–65%
