Bran question

I have heard of rice bran and have used it myself. Recently some people at our barn have started using soy bran. This is suposed to be better than the rice bran. Has anyone used this or had any experience with it? I saw the tag and it said it had 42% protien, this seems um a bit excessive to me!

Yea the lady I just moved in with uses the soy bran and her horses a healthy and are not real "HOT" and she worked for 8 yrs at the UF vet school and she said it helps alot and bc it has so much protein they don't need to eat as much hay or grass

That's a lot of protein(!) def. Wouldn't be good for warmbloods...they operate more on a 10% level :)

It may say 42% protein, but what is the suggested serving size? The percentage is the amount in the recommended serving, it doesn't mean you are giving the horse a level of 42% protein in a daily feeding.

You need to look at the total diet to determine what the total %'s are.
