Dave. Well ..from what I can determine.If you feed beet pulp and rice bran
you are ok since beet pulp is higher in CA ..it offsets the P in rice bran..
I have NOT ran the ratios to weight to find out close it is..i did read how
much the Ca to P ratio in beet pulp was..but cant find it.. i have the rice
barn ratio..on the bag..need to look at the beetpulp...my guess 2 beetplup to
one rice bran would be very good.

anyone have these ratios handy???

however Jim from ABC says since I feed the ABC Plus and the ABC Rushcreek
Minerals ..the horse will do thing he calls selective rejection..i dont
really understand it..but it goes like this..
when i feed ..force an unbalanced mix.. the horse will go to the free choice
feeder and take up all the minerals he needs to get balanced ..since he is
high in P his body will NOT absorb anymore from the mineral mix..he will
reject it when it is in his guts..and take up only the parts he needs.. in
this case Ca..

I need to work on this one.. but I do trust Jim from ABC..he does know his
science.

The gang dose seem to be taking more min mix since we put them on rice bran..
but then when i feed more beet pulp they seen to stop taking the minerals.

you can call them 800 373 5971 ask for jim he is the company..and inventor..
