 Bran - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bran is present in and may be milled from any cereal grain, including rice, wheat, maize, oats, and millet.
Bran is the hard outer layer of cereal grains, and consists of combined aleurone and pericarp.
Along with germ, it is an integral part of whole grains, and is often produced as a by-product of milling in the production of refined grains.

 Rice Bran
Rice bran consists of the outer layers (pericarp,aleurone, germ, and part of the endosperm) of the rice kernel that are removed during whitening and polishing of husked rice.
Rice Bran has a wide particle size distribution, with majority of particles in the 0.1 to 0.5 mm range.
The oily nature makes bran an excellent binder for animal feeds.

However, wheat bran may improve your horse's water consumption especially when feeding it as a wet mash.
Wheat bran is also extremely high in phosphorus so should be fed to foals and growing horses with caution as it could create dietary imbalances of calcium and phophorus ratios.
By weight, wheat bran has 12 % less energy than oats and 25 % less energy than corn.

 Bran - Glossary from Hormel Foods
Oat and rice bran are two of the more popular examples of grains in which some of the bran is removed during processing and ground into a meal to be used as a supplement or food additive.
Bran can be stored in an airtight container almost indefinitely because the absence of the germ portion of the grain increases the shelf life.
Bran is loaded with insoluble fiber, which is important for digestive health, and soluble fiber, which helps to lower the cholesterol level in the blood.

 The Farrier & Hoofcare Resource Center Forums (formerly the Bulletin Boards) - Bran??????????
Bran is extremely high in Phosphorus, which may screw up the cal /phos balance, unless it is being fed in conjunction with an alfalfa based diet (which would be too high in calcium to phos ratio if you didn't feed the bran) (look up "big head disease" in some of the old horse books).
The mitosis of cells is raised by higher concentrations of calcium and lowered by its reduction (Carradino).
A study conducted by Comben and others involved a winter diet of bran and chaff which rendered the horse calcium deficient, and as a result, frequent shoe loss and crumbly wall.
