FLAXSEED / LINSEED
Flaxseed / Linseed is a versatile crop cultivated for both fiber and oil.
The seeds are particularly rich in omega-3 fatty acid (ALA) and fiber.
In animal feeding, flaxseed is used in dairy cattle rations as an energy source and helps improve the fatty acid profile in milk.
When the oil is extracted from the seeds, the remaining flaxseed meal is a valuable feed ingredient due to its high protein content.
Flaxseed is also used in poultry feeds to promote brighter feather color and support overall health.
For better digestibility by ruminants, flaxseed is typically recommended to be cracked, ground, or heat-processed.
