Carolina Pride Whole Flax Seed is a premium feed ingredient valued for its rich nutritional profile. Also known as linseed, flax seed isn’t grown locally in North Carolina due to its need for cooler, drier climates. However, it remains a popular addition to many equine and poultry diets thanks to its high alpha-linolenic acid content—an Omega-3 fatty acid that supports joint health, coat condition, and metabolic function.
Beyond Omega-3s, Carolina Pride Whole Flax Seed also contains beneficial fiber and nutrients that help regulate blood sugar. It’s commonly used in performance equine rations and poultry feed, offering a reliable nutritional boost. Available in 50 lb. bags, this oilseed delivers concentrated energy and should be used in small amounts. Although it’s more expensive than cereal grains, its high fat content and nutritional value make it a smart choice for targeted feeding.
This flax seed is non-GMO and can be fed whole or ground. Ground flax seed, however, has a shorter shelf life because its oils oxidize quickly. That’s why Coker Feed Mill offers it in whole form—ensuring freshness and preserving nutrients. Even though the outer hulls may appear in droppings, animals still absorb the internal nutrients. The presence of hulls simply shows the durability of lignin fiber, not poor digestion.
While flax seed isn’t ideal for ruminants or swine due to its higher cost and fat levels, it works exceptionally well in poultry and equine diets. When added to feed blends, Carolina Pride Whole Flax Seed enhances energy intake, digestion, and overall health. For animal owners seeking a natural, effective supplement, this oilseed provides powerful results in a small, efficient package.
