They are approximately 1 millimeter in length and black or white in colour. Nutritionally both are very similar. This super food is nutrient dense supplying fibre (42%), vitamins, minerals, and is high in essential fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6 at a high favourable ratio of 3:1. It is a source of cool calories with digestible energy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt contains mucilage, a water-soluble fibre, that holds up to 27 times it’s own weight in water. When water is added the seeds become coated in a gel. This gel adds bulk to the hindgut which may help prevent sand colic. The mucilage along with quercetin, a biologically active flavonoid, help protect and heal the mucosal lining throughout the stomach and gastrointestinal tract.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther nutraceutical benefits Chia seeds provide include weight management, joint and muscle support from the omega-3, skin and allergy support, and a healthy immune response due to the high omega-3 ALA content.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe high soluble fibre content slows the absorption of glucose helping modulate insulin spikes and other metabolic conditions making it safe for all horses. Hooves and hair benefit from the high-quality protein.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEssential Fatty Acids – Omega-3 and 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDietary Fibre for digestive system support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural Antioxidants, vitamins and minerals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMay support gut mobility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Chia Seeds\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeeding Guide:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eHorses:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u2028\u003cbr\u003eIntroduce slowly into diet over two weeks.\u2028Add to feed, split into two feeds where possible.\u20281 scoop = 60g\u2028\u2028\u003cbr\u003eHorses with access to pasture: 60 grams (1 scoop) \/ day\u2028\u003cbr\u003eStabled\/yarded horses or no access to pasture: 120 grams (2 scoops) \/ day\u003cbr\u003e• Based on a 500kg horse\u003cbr\u003e• Can be fed wet or dry.\u003cbr\u003e• Can be ground to increase digestibility.\u003cbr\u003e• Safe for horses or ponies with metabolic issues\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDogs:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u2028\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSoak seeds for 30 minutes to 2 hours prior to feeding\u2028Add to feed\u2028Feed ¼ teaspoon per 5kg bodyweight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EQUITEC","offers":[{"title":"2kg","offer_id":51319308976292,"sku":null,"price":44.87,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10kg","offer_id":51319309009060,"sku":null,"price":164.86,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0639\/0838\/0836\/files\/imagechia2_02de6bbd-6690-4317-a5dd-9f67dcf4c533.webp?v=1777632457","url":"https:\/\/petcare2000.com.au\/products\/equitec-chia-seed-1","provider":"Petcare Warehouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
