Tom, I'm not familiar with this aspect---could you elaborate? Would
gut-coating aspects differ if the horse was fed bran alone vs. in
combination with forage? Any specific info on the biochemistry, if
available, would be greedily consumed (not of nutrient absorption, just
how bran would interfere with absorption). Or just point me in the
direction of relevant reading, anything is grist for my mill. :-D
