I was at the EXPO at Ft. Washington, PA over the weekend and found a
supplier for Rice bran--Triple Crown Feeds who distribute through Agway.
The assay indicates 20% crude fat, tho' I'm not sure how much of that is
bio-available compared with corn oil. Two of our guys don't like corn
oil in the quantities that would make a difference. How palatable is the
rice bran? Company recommends top-dressing at the rate of 1-2 lbs/day
which seems like a lot to me. They list a variety of trace minerals, but
in amounts that don't make a difference.

Anyone familiar with this product??? Haven't a clue as to price.
