Re: RC: Rice bran question

["Carolyn Burgess" <carolyn_burgess@hotmail.com>]

Can anyone tell me about the benfits/drawbacks to feeding rice bran?

I like rice bran alot and have used it on two hard keepers, neither of which 
would eat oil in there food.  It was easy to store and they loved the taste 
of it.  The brand I bought was made by a company called Select and it came 
in 40 lb tubs (the tubs are awesome storage bins, an added bonus).  To the 
hardest keeper, I added 1/2 coffee can (1 lb size) to dinner only (she was 
too impatient in the morning to eat much) with lots of warm water to make a 
soup (that's how she liked it).  The other one I made it a stiffer mix.  
While being high fat and very palatable, it is also 14% protien.  One of my 
hard keepers is an Arabian and I didn't find that it made him nuts.  It did 
make a huge difference in both of them holding their weight.
