<< My vet here in Southern California recommends NOT feeding bran as it may
promote the growth/development of enteroliths. He says that the soil/water
has a high alkaline content and that the bran is not a good thing to feed.
He suggests using psyllium for helping to prevent colic and for wet mashes
to use something like A&M instead. Has anyone else heard this? >>
Jamie Brooks of VitaFlex, one of the most knowledgeable equine nutritionists
I've encountered, tells me that they're always into one case or another
trying to correct malabsorption problems with horses on wheat bran.
