Equine Weight Question?
Does anyone know of any supplement that will help a horse gain weight QUICKLY?
Rice bran is GREAT for putting weight on a horse. It has a higher fat content than any other feed, and you can feed it to them in bulk without having to worry about colic. It is about the only thing I’ve found that can put and keep weight on my 18 year old TB mare. For weight gain, I have to feed 6lbs of it a day mixed with 6lbs of Senior.
A lot of people like to feed beet pulp. It helps too but it’s main function is as a source of digestible fiber. So it’s almost like giving them more forage, like grass hay, it’s just more digestible. But it’s not necessarily that high in fat. Beet pulp can actually be used as a source of fiber/roughage when no hay or grass is available.
Rice bran, on the other hand, contains a lot of calories from fat to put the weight on a horse. It has 1/3 more calories than beet pulp, by weight. (i.e. you’d have to feed 1.3 pounds of beet pulp to get the same calories as you’d get from 1 pound of rice bran). This is a big reason why I prefer it…it’s more cost effective. However, rice bran can have a mineral imbalance, so if you feed more than about 2 pounds of it, you should make sure a horse’s diet is supplemented with a mineral block and/or a complete feed (hence why I feed Senior as well–if your horse is younger I’d try Strategy instead).
Good luck!
