Why camelina is superior to flax? It's higher in ALA with a 2.4:1 ratio of omega 3s to omega 6s, making its shelf life is far better than flaxseed. It's resistant to oxidative rancidity, which makes it highly stable because of its incredibly high vitamin E content of 100 ml.

CAMELINA MEAL
3 cups = 1 lb camelina meal.
The daily intake of camelina oil for the average 1000lb horse is 2 tbsp twice daily if using oil, you can double for the meal form. There are no studies on the daily intake limit. From research, people have given their hard keepers up to 6 tbsp daily of oil and most use the oil because in truth that seems to be all that is available but, not all horses like the texture. I was fortunate enough to find an amazing harvester in the U.S. that provides this non-gmo meal. The best thing about the meal is, it is much more affordable.
In my own research, I have found horses can have and do well consuming any where from 2 tablespoons to 3 cups a day, depending on their needs and the situation. I have many clients who use 2 - 3 tbsp. daily for horses averaging 1000 lbs.
*All of our horses get timothy pellets (hard keeper gets timothy and non-gmo beet pulp), they have pasture and coastal hay all year long.
*Our rescue horse (medium keeper) was getting 2 cups daily, split into two feedings.
Our TB (hard keeper) get 3 cups daily, spread out in 3 meals. He is on a forage base diet (timothy pellets and non gmo beet pulp) along with his herbs and he gets 3 meals a day, 10 lbs total. The 3 cups of camelina has helped to not go over 10 lbs of feed. He also gets 2 - 3 flakes of perennial peant hay, divided up with his meals.
Our other two, easy keepers, get 1/4 cup (4 tbsp.) daily split into two meals.
Dogs * I find a tablespoon for the medium sized dog to work well. For cats, I sprinkle a little in their moist/cooked food twice a week.
*I have clients that feed as little as a 1/4 cup daily and as much as 3 cups.
I have not seen or heard of any issues. I believe it to be a wonderful supplments for omegas and natural vitamin E
