MAKING SENSE OF OMEGA FATTY ACIDS

If you’re like most people, you’re aware that Omega fatty acids are

good for you—you’re just not sure why.

Omega-3 and Omega-6 are essential fatty acids. While the body needs them for proper heart and brain

function, growth and development, the body cannot manufacture them on

its own for optimal health. So they must come from the diet.

But there’s a catch—it’s critical to maintain the appropriate balance

of Omega-3 to Omega-6. Unfortunately, the typical American diet provides far more Omega-6 than is necessary and this imbalance can

prove detrimental over time.

But you can tilt the balance in your favor by looking for opportunities to add Omega-3 to your family’s diet. Eating eggs produced through an exclusive diet of Purina® Layena®

Plus Omega-3 are a wholesome and delicious way to add some of those

much-sought-after Omega-3 fatty acids.

A chance to give your flock something they truly enjoy would

be reason enough to try Purina® Layena® Plus Omega-3 pellets

poultry feed made with whole grain. You’ll love watching

them eat it up!

But it’s what you can’t see that makes Purina® Layena® Plus Omega-3 poultry feed truly unique.

It’s made with flaxseed, which not only supports a healthy flock, but also provides enhanced

nutrients in their eggs. While a typical egg provides a mere 65mg of Omega-3 fatty acids, an egg

produced by healthy poultry fed exclusively on Purina® Layena® Plus Omega-3 poultry feed contains

200mg of Omega-3.

And like all Purina® SunFresh® Recipe poultry feeds, you can rest assured Purina® Layena® Plus

Omega-3 poultry feed contains no added hormones, antibiotics, animal fat or animal by-products.

Just wholesome goodness for a delicious, homegrown egg.

300% more Omega-3 than a typical egg!

Peace-of-mind – feed your birds like you feed your family
