| Where can you find "pure" rice bran pellets or is there such a thing. I know Renew Gold, but I cannot get that. |

| My feed store sells Integrity rice bran.. Its made here locally but it is fortified so phos/Cal ratio is balanced and not a concern. |

| So maybe not pure, but stabilized as I have been feeding the Purina Amplify to my older getting for weight maintenance and I guess I didn't realize it has ground corn in it. He is doing good on it and maintaining his weight good but I didn't know about the corn. |

This is what I have been trying to alert people to, deception in feed ingredient marketing. Purina markets the tar of of amplify, they list that it has this and that to make you want to buy it, but ground corn is the 4th ingredient and never will they highlight that in their marketing material! It is only listed on the tag (because they have to by law). I call that deceptive and it is almost every feed company that is doing stuff like this. There are some good ones that don't and I applaud them for sure.
Max E Glo at TSC will likely be your most available option for just rice bran, but there are others too.

Location: Willows, CA | As far as "straight" stabilized rice bran goes, MaxE Glo, Natural Glo, Satin Finish. I started adding calcium to SRB because there were enough questions asked about it that it was easier to do that rather that try to explain to everyone who asked that it really was not necessary. Because of the very low feed rates compared to conventional grain based feds, the potential to disrupt the calcium / phosphorus balance is really not there with Stabilized Rice Bran. You vary the overall Cal / Phos balance more by how thick the flake of hay you grab in the morning more that what is contributed in a pound of SRB. |
