Has anyone had any experience with feeding stabilized rice bran to goats to put weight on them? A friend of mine feeds it to her horses and I was wondering if it might help out my skinny goat (and the other milkers too). How much would be a good amount to feed to full size dairy does? Also, would it be likely to bother my foundered doe? She can't seem to have more than a couple of handfuls a day of grain without starting to limp, but she is so skinny I've got to feed her something more than just hay and alfalfa pellets, so I am thinking about maybe giving her a mix of the alfalfa pellets, rice bran, and beet pulp with just a little grain and calf-manna--sound like a reasonable plan?
