Re: [RC] [RC] Performance Pak 100 - April

Thanks, Susan, I appreciate you taking the time to answer my question(s).

I am feeding canola oil at the moment. I have heard/read that CORN oil
offers some ucler protection? Something published in November's Equus.
Do you have an opinion on that? And is it only corn oil that would
provide this benefit? What about the corn oil would do that that other
veggie oils wouldn't?

Also, on the omega fatty acids thing, I can get that from feeding
extra virgin olive oil, right? How much of that should I feed to get
benefits (2 tablespoons, a quarter cup, etc.)? It'd be awful expensive
to replace all the canola oil with the extra virgin olive oil.

Or I can feed flax seed for omega fatty acids, right? How much of flax
seed? 1 cup, 2 cups, 8 cups? :-)

Thanks again,
April
Nashville, TN

They're pretty much the same on a weight for weight basis---one cup of
liquid oil is equivalent weight-wise to two cups of solid prilled fat.

Also keep in mind that neither provide omega fatty acids unless the liquid
fat you're feeding is cold-pressed and handled very carefully (away from
light, heat, air).
