Kathy, search the archives on this. There
are lots of good posts from Susan Garlinghouse regarding feeding and storing
corn oil.

ulcer prevention?
I just read in the Nov issue of Equus (p 15) that a
study showed that adding corn oil to a horses daily rations may help to prevent
gastric ulcers. They recommend feeding 3/4 cup daily.
I am planning to try this with Gabriel (my endurance horse),
I don't have any reason to think he has ulcers, and I'd sure like to keep it
that way!
Any comments from vets on this? Is there anything I
need to know about feeding corn oil? I'm assuming that keeping it
refrigerated is all I need to do......and that I can mix it in with beet pulp
and daily supplements.
