In a message dated 96-11-25 20:51:49 EST, you write:

<< As far as I know, there is basically no nutritive value to wheat bran but
a lot of nutritive value in rice bran. Comparing the labels anyway.

I'd like to comment here on an observation: the research I've been doing on
tying up lately tells me that excess calcium loss is a cause of tying up.
If
this is so, then feeding high quantities of wheat bran mashes at endurance
rides would be asking for trouble since wheat bran prohibits calcium
absorbtion.

I would be curious to know if any of you who have tying up problems also
feed
bran mash on a regular basis?
