| Between Max E Glo and Natural Glo rice bran? Both made by Manna Pro. I'm going to be adding some rice bran to one of my horses ration . I've seen the Max E Glo at my local tsc and I believe another feed store carries it along with healthy glo by adm which I will not buy for obvious reasons. |

so if you check and compare ... looks like Max E glo has sodium added. Sodium is salt and will encourage a horse to drink. After that, I really am not finding much else that is different .... hmmmmmm |

Location: Willows, CA | No difference in the meal form. Both are stabilized in the same rice mill using the same machines owned by Rice Bran Technologies. Pelleting is done by Mars on a extrusion system. |

Location: Bandera, TX | Win Willows, what are the signs of horses not doing well on soys? I just gave a few to a college gal, but would love to tell her some more. Told her about using the Renew Gold and the big difference on the mares. Over the rice bran and soy products. |

That's a really good price. Wonder if my tsc has it on sale too. The feed store told me $35 for theirs. |

Location: Willows, CA | There is one technology to stabilize rice bran (owned by Rice Bran Technologies Inc) that is food grade, and vastly superior to any other processing. The result of using this process is the preservation of many of the nutrients that make SRB unique to soy and other fat supplements. Rice bran is 80% things other than fat. Those things include one of the most potent sources of natural vit E found in nature, high Vit B, gamma oryzanol, and amino acids that do not survive other processing well. This is a more expensive process, and worth it. Without this process, the rice bran you feed is basically a rancid fat source with little other nutrition surviving. Among the products using rice bran stabilized with this process are Renew Gold, Natural Glo and MaxE Glo. |

Location: Arkansas | Are the Manna Pro rice brans safe as far as being made in plants that don't do cattle products? I bought a bag today (pellets) to start Dan on. He isn't liking his Platinum Healthy Weight Oil anymore and he needs something to replace it.
Any suggestions or advice or stories on rice bran? |

Location: austin, arkansas | if you can get rice bran in the ground meal it is soooo much cheaper and the horses love it. i only pay $8.50 a bag and it isnt difficult to work with and they clean it all up. my horses look great on it and the only thing you need to add is a free choice mineral supplement.
It is 12% fat, protein, and fiber. i dont know where post above got info but its not rancid in the meal form.
puts a healthy shine on all my horses. was highly recommended by my vet in this unstabilized form.

Well, because it's not stabilized, and therefore breaks down, losing most of it's nutritional value. Fat, when you leave it out at room temperature or hotter, goes rancid. Simple fact. He got it because he's the biochemist that originally figured out how to stabilize rice bran.
Now, in my experience: I've fed both to a great extent. I've never had a horse get sick on the unstabilized product, that said: I have noticed a slightly higher tendency to get ulcers when consuming the unstabilized. I also notice that I feed less of the stabilized product to get the same high quality finish that you can get from rice bran. I've noticed enough of a difference myself to cringe and pay the higher price. |

Raw rice bran begins to go rancid within eight hours after it is milled off of the rice kernel. If you feed raw rice bran, it is rancid, period. When this happens, the anti-oxidant vitamins are destroyed and a lot of nutritional value is lost. However, the most significant additional concern for me is how this material is treated. Raw bran is a waste product that has value in a ruminant because they have a less sensitive system to contamination. Horses, on the other hand, are more sensitive to molds, and contamination from animal waste from rodents and birds. This can be quite common in raw rice bran. Stabilized rice bran is a food grade product and is handled as such. The result is full nutrition from the stable fats, some of the most potent anti-oxidants found in nature, and safety from contamination. When we developed the use of Stabilized rice bran for horses in the 1980's we could have used raw rice bran practically for free. Since I had my name on the bag, I could never do that. |

I am not familiar with the origin of this product. If it is raw rice bran that is shipped from the mill to a pelleting facility where it is blended, pelleted and bagged I would really question the stability of the product. As I said before, rancidity begins within eight hours. If it is stabilized at the rice mill, then shipped to where it is blended and pelleted it may be fine. The web site does not make this clear. I can't stress how much nutritional difference there is between raw and stabilized rice bran. |
