I too have a bag coming from Charnwood, cheaper than anywhere else I could find on the web. Would it be o.k. to put a small amount in with my 8 month old weanlings feed.
Careful re the lozengers - these are the remenants of the process of removing all the good stuff for human use, and then have bits and bobs added back in.
To get the health benefits of linseed, the micronised is by far the best and really good vaue too

I've just started to feed the lozenges, never tried before so interesting to find out all the benefits.

The Lozenges are mainly mollasses and the by-product after all the good stuff is extracted so I doubt you'll see many benefits, other than a fat tummy. Sorry x
Does the linseed that comes from Charnwood go straight into the horses feed or does it have to be boiled or cooked first. How much do you feed an average 15hh horse.
It depends what you are feeding it for, a rough guide is between 1/2 and 1g per 1Kg horse i.e. a 500KG horse would be fed between 250g and 500g depending on what you want from it.
I give Dennis 300g a day and he weighs almost 500KG.
Mine get according to need - Cinny (endurance horse) 3/4 mug twice a day, Tilly, the filly 2/3 mug twice a day and Susie-woo good doer companion just a little.
