Why is rice bran better than top-dressed vegetable oil?

A. NATURAL GLO provides a relative DE (digestible energy) of about 2.4 Mcal per pound compared to 1.9 Mcal per cup of vegetable oil. NATURAL GLO also contains many other nutrients, such as high-quality protein (13%), vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and digestible fiber. Vegetable oil is pure fat, so when you top-dress with oil, the protein, vitamins, minerals and fiber in the rest of the diet become diluted. Then, in order to metabolize the fat, vitamins and minerals must be taken from the rest of the ration or from the horse’s body. Also, recent research has revealed that vegetable oil, when top-dressed on feeds, can interfere with proper digestion of the grains and hays in horse rations. NATURAL GLO is more palatable and less messy than oils and has a much longer shelf life. The rice oil in NATURAL GLO is a natural source of gamma oryzanol, a very potent antioxidant known to improve muscle function in humans and animals. As you can see, there are many reasons to feed NATURAL GLO rat
