DHA is well recognized for its brain, eye and heart health benefits for humans, and now, there is a growing body of evidence that supports many of these same benefits for animals. DHAgold®, a sustainable source of DHA omega-3, is used to fortify animal feeds, treats and supplements and can be fed to fish and production animals, enriching the meat, eggs and milk they produce.

Benefits of DHA supplementation include:

  • Dogs - DHA supports brain and eye development in puppies and a healthy skin and coat in dogs, as well as supporting trainability.
  • Horses - DHA/EPA supports exercise recovery and reproductive health.
  • Aquaculture - DHA supports normal growth and development in fish, as well as providing increased DHA levels in meat.
  • Laying Hens - DHA fed to laying hens produces eggs containing supplement levels of DHA.
  • Swine - DHA fed to swine supports litter health.

DHAgold for Animal Nutrition

DHAgold is from a sustainable, vegetarian source (algae) you can trust – not from fish. While most people believe that fish produce their own DHA, it’s actually the algae in their food chain that makes them a rich source of DHA. Because DHAgold is from algae and not fish, it provides a vegetarian, sustainable source of DHA that is free of ocean-borne contaminants.
