Hard Keeperalso supplies the benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids, which are so important for skin and coat condition. It's the perfect solutionfor show horses, and for any horse that needs help with weight maintenance or coat condition.Feed Fat For Better Performance, Recovery and Health Over the years there has been great controversy over the ability ofthe equine system to utilize dietary fat. The common belief had been that a high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet was best, but recentresearch has shown that a high fat diet (12% ) may actually be of greater benefit to horses. Dietary fat may enhanceperformance by delaying lactate accumulation, thus delaying the onset of fatigue1. The feeding of dietary fat has also beenshown to naturally increase post-exercise water consumption2, which is always important for equine health. Not only hasrecent research shown that feeding a high-fat diet, for prolonged periods, is not harmful to the equine physiology3, it hasshown that there are actual health and performance benefits to feeding diets with over 12% fat.How Does it Work? Research shows that when fat is added to the feed, even at the extremely high range of 29% of total diet,the horses metabolism adapts to take advantage of the slower-burning energy source. The equine system will naturallyproduce and use less glucose and carbohydrates, and will instead use fats for energy4. Added dietary fat is usually mostbeneficial to show horses, horses performing sustained aerobic exercise, and horses in need of improved weight retention.Omega-3 Fatty Acids and More Hard Keeper is a pleasing blend of grains, fats, and flax seed meal, a rich source of alphalinolenic acid (ALA) and other essential Omega-3 fatty acids. Scientists study Omega-3 fatty acids for their role in maintainingimmune balance in the epidermis and for their beneficial impact on prostaglandin activity.
