RE: [RC] Selenium Vit E and flax/BOSS - Susan E. Garlinghouse, D.V.M.Flax seed and sunflower seeds have a different profile of fatty acids, so ideally, I would mix the two at a 3:1 ratio (3 parts BOSS to 1 part flax seed by volume). Then feed 1-2 cups of the mixture once or twice a day, mixed in with the beet pulp, selenium/vit E, plus a handful or two of barley if he's choosey and likes the extra bit of grain.

I've read everything I can get my eyes on and I'm still not satisfied, perhaps I'm overcomplecating things. I wasn't happy with the way my horse was behaving on sweetfeed so I took him off it. He is much less spooky now. He gets rolled barley and beet pulp and free choice timothy grass hay. Because we have selenium deficient soil I give him a seleiun/Vitamin E supplement and he also gets glucosamine. Here's the question, would he be better off with black oil sunflower seeds and flax seed mixed or with the VitE/selenium he gets now?
