Flaxseed

Flaxseed, derived from the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum), is a seed that has been used for thousands of years in nutrition and traditional medicine. The seed is often ground or sold as oil. In the agricultural sector, flaxseed is used as a dietary supplement for various animals, including dogs, chickens, and horses.

For dogs, flaxseed can contribute to a healthy skin and coat, and it can help promote good digestion. For chickens, flaxseed can improve egg quality and promote overall health, while also contributing to better nutrient absorption. Horses also benefit from flaxseed, which can contribute to a shiny coat and healthy digestion.

The nutritional value of flaxseed is high; it contains omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and protein. These components make it a valuable addition to the diet of pets and livestock, provided it is given in the right amounts.
