Help! I'm confused. I thought feeding corn oil was a good way to
increase calories/DE without the attendant risks of metabolic problems.
A recent post said corn oil causes "hormone imbalance." Is this in
mares only (I guess the inference being a hormonally imbalanced mare
is more likely to tie up)? Is this corn oil only, or fat in general?
And would this include rice bran? Is my gelding exempt from this caveat?
Thanks in advance!
