In many equine diets the Omega 3 Omega 6 ratio is out of balance affecting the wellbeing and performance of the horse. Omega 3 oils are a group of unsaturated fatty acids that cannot be produced by the horse. To benefit from these oils they need to be supplemented in the diet.

These Omega 3 fatty acids are only found in fish oil. Performa 3 Oil contains fish oil allowing the horse to derive the benefits of the oil immediately.
