Re: [RC] Gamma-oryzanol (was: Yucca, etc.) - Stefanie Praschkat, do you have any further information on oats containing also gamma-oryzanol? I also prefer oats for my horses. And it's kinda doping, it for sure enhances my horses performance compared to a only-hay-diet ;-) Stefanie Am Do, 7.05.2009, 08:39, schrieb k s swigart: Stefanie said:The problem is, rice bran contains gamma-oryzanol, which is also a prohibited substance.I checked the AERC's list of prohibited substances, and, indeed, gamma-oryzanol is on it. Interestingly enough, it isn't just rice bran that contains gamma-oryzanol, wheat bran, corn and barley oil, and (get this) oats also contain it. And it is in a lot of other plants too. It looks to me like gamma-oryzanol is another one of those substances that might have ended up on the AERC's prohibited substance list without giving due consideration to where it comes from. I don't think the AERC really intended to write a rule that prohibited participants from feeding oats to their horses. If so, it is a damned silly rule.How do you handle this problem? Do you still feed rice bran or feed containing rice products?Personally, I don't feed rice bran but not because it contains gamma-oryzanol but rather because it contains a rather inordinate amount of phosphorus (which I would rather not mess with); however, I do feed oats (also contain phosphorus, but not as much as rice bran). kat Orange County, Calif. :) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
