The below is based on the current diet (ignoring the mollases in the
alfalfa meal and using the numbers from NaturalGlo for the rice bran):

DE: 19.3 Mcal
Protein: 1127 g
Ca: 58 g
P: 29 g
Ca/P: 2.16

All of these numbers (except DE) are higher than necessary, but well within
reason. Feed more oat hay. If he can't hold weight with with free choice
(if necessary) oat hay, then I might consider increasing rice bran. You are
feeding sufficient calcium to balance out the phosphorus in the rice bran.
