[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 89122, member: 1683"] I have never fed or had experience with anyone who has fed rice, however I do have a question concerning it. Inasmuch as one uses rice in the kitchen, and it is mixed with water - voila! It swel-l-l-l-s. I wonder if that might happen with cattle if they drink a lot of water in conjunction with the rice? ? ?? If it is mixed with soy beans as Farminlund suggests or, as Cattle Rack mentions - start it gradually (which I suggest almost always with something new) that might work okay. If I had 40 tons of anything I would sure look into feeding it! Also, get hold of a recent edition of "Feeds and Feeding". I'll bet that will have some ideas on Rice feeding. I know rice hulls are okay, but not much nutritional value to it. [/QUOTE]
