Re: [RC] Corn Oil - Diane TrefethenCite the article that proclaimed corn oil is HARMFUL. Without that, there is no way for us to evaluate the quality of the information. However...While it is true that horses do not have a gall bladder, they do not need one to process oils. So feeding corn oil, or any other oil for that matter, will contribute to weight gain as the fats will be emulsified by bile that is more or less continuously excreted in horses. Feeding corn oil over other oils may contribute more "heat"... or not... than other oils. It is certainly one of the most economical oils and is widely available. It has little nutritive value so should not REPLACE anything, just be used for additional weight gain. Harmful? I'm not from Missouri, but "Show me". :) I have been using corn oil for weight on my horses for years when needed. I recently read in a magazine that this is harmful as the horse does not have a gall bladder to digest the oil. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
