However, it contains ALA (like most other vegetable oils) and virtually no EPA and DHA. The body can convert ALA into EPA and DHA, but this conversion is very limited. Only 5-10% of ALA can be converted by the horse into EPA and DHA. And only EPA and DHA can truly be utilized by an animal's body. Salmon oil, on the other hand, is rich in EPA and DHA, making it directly absorbable for the horse. EPA and DHA are important for the body's anti-inflammatory processes and have a positive effect on the neurological and immune systems. DHA fatty acids are also known to support memory and psychomotor performance. For example, research has shown that it has a positive effect on the brain development of foals when given to pregnant mares.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eResearch on the effect of salmon oil\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eAmerican research involving 13 horses examined the effect of salmon oil on performance and blood values. The results showed that the heart rate during exercise was lower, and cholesterol and glucose levels in the blood were also lower in horses that received salmon oil. Based on these results, researchers concluded that salmon oil can have a positive effect on insulin-resistant horses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eRecommended for sweet itch\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe American research found that salmon oil positively influenced blood glucose levels. This makes it extremely suitable for horses with insulin resistance. However, salmon oil is also recommended for sweet itch, as it is believed to reduce the itching reaction to mosquito bites, leading to less rubbing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Excellent","offers":[{"title":"1 L","offer_id":61539599286602,"sku":"EQUI0022B","price":24.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5 L","offer_id":61539599319370,"sku":"EQUI0022D","price":47.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 L","offer_id":61539599352138,"sku":"EQUI0022G","price":87.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1034\/0240\/6218\/files\/EQUI0022D-main.webp?v=1775539762","url":"https:\/\/puurpaardenkracht.nl\/en\/products\/excellent-zalmolie","provider":"Puur Paardenkracht Ruitersport","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
