Location: Piedmont, OK		The closer it is to how God made it the better it is. I am not a fan of pellets or other commercial feeds. I love oats and my horses seem to like them too. I feed oats and alfalfa and what ever Animal Element supplement they may need (all get the Foundation DEtox)

So are whole oats better than crimped? I've heard they can't digest whole oats..is this just a myth?

Location: northeast		Just got back from the feed store and was as inquiring about oats and what types of oats they carry. Of course, the feed store is also a purina dealer (they tried convincing me to feed purina) currently Im feeding Nutrena Safechoice original and  I used to feed Purina Strategy. I like the Safechoice a lil beter than Strategy but love neither. I feel the horse can look better. I rather go with a more simple program of oats,alfalfapellets,cocosoya,vitamin/mineral supplement and free choice hay. Now the choice is rolled,steamed or crimped????

Location: NE Texas		Whole oats are the most pure form.  Rolled, steamed, or crimped have all been "processed" and it does affect the nutrient value of the oat.  You will see some oats in your horse's poop, however if their digestive system is functioning correctly, they will digest most and those you see will likely be the hull.  However this is happening with what you're currently feeding, it just blends better with the poop than an oat does, so keep that in mind.  It isn't the oat, it's the digestive tract, and likely the hind gut not functioning as it should.
