Racing Oil is Ranvet's higher-strength feeding oil for racehorses and horses prone to tying up, carrying more omega-3 and omega-6 per litre than the general-purpose Grand Prix Oil. Horses need four to six weeks to adapt to added fat, so build the rate slowly — pouring it on at the full rate from day one will loosen manure.
Available in 5L, 20L and a 205L drum. The garlic-flavoured general-purpose oil is Ranvet Grand Prix Oil; the canine version is Ranvet Sprint Oil.
Benefits
- 533ml of essential fatty acids per litre — omega-3 107ml and omega-6 426ml.
- Cool energy — calories without the starch of extra grain.
- Higher rate for metabolic cases — up to 300ml daily where a horse is tying up.
Composition (per litre)
Omega-3 (linolenic acid) 107ml, omega-6 (linoleic acid) 426ml.
Feeding Guide
Start at 30-50ml daily and build over four to six weeks. Horses in training 30-150ml daily; horses with metabolic disturbance 150-300ml daily. Fat should not exceed about 10% of the total diet.
