McCauley's Rice Bran Oil 3.8L
Useful for adding sheen to the haircoat
High in digestible energy and will add calories to the diet without extra bulk.
- McCauley's All-Natural Rice Bran Oil is excellent for improving the body condition of horses, especially those that are unable or unwilling to consume more feed.
- One gallon of rice bran oil is equivalent to the oil content of approximately 36 lbs. of rice bran.
Natural antioxidants, notably various forms of vitamin E and gamma-oryzanols, are present in significant levels.
- The antioxidant property of vitamin E helps to maintain cell membrane structure, red blood cell stability and capillary blood vessel integrity. Furthermore, the more active the cell (e.g., muscle cells), the greater the risk of tissue damage if vitamin E is limited. Consequently, vitamin E helps prevent muscle damage, inflammation and "tying-up" in horses. Another important function of vitamin E is its role in maximizing the immune function.
Safe alternative for horses refusing to consume other vegetable oils.
Provides the benefits without most of the disadvantages of rice bran.
- Less bulky
- More palatable than rice bran
- McCauley's® All-Natural Rice Bran Oil produces no digestive disturbances, while rice bran can occasionally cause digestive upset in horses.
- Avoids imbalances of other nutrients. Rice bran oil contains negligible amounts of calcium and phosphorus. Rice bran, on the other hand, can contain either a high level of phosphorus and little calcium or high phosphorus and very high calcium depending on the manufacturer. The amounts of phosphorus and calcium in rice bran have the potential to significantly alter the calcium/phosphorus balance in the total diet.
