Just thought I'd jump in here . . .
any oil supplements including BOSS, rice bran, liquid oil and the like
should only be 10% of his total dietary intake. If your grain product is 6%

be harmful by causing loose stools or interfering with digestion/absorption
of essential nutrients.
Just a heads up!
Blessings!
