Compared with whole oats, crimped oats are easier to chew and less likely to pass through undigested, which matters most for older horses and for any animal that bolts its feed. Use them as a straightforward energy source, as a top dress to make a supplement disappear, or as the grain half of a diet you mix yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteam Crimped:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steaming and rolling breaks the hull so more of each kernel is available to the horse.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHighly Palatable:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oats are one of the most readily accepted grains in the barn, even by fussy eaters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy to Digest:\u003c\/strong\u003e A gentler starch than corn, and a familiar choice for horses that do not handle heavy grain well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGreat Top Dress:\u003c\/strong\u003e A small handful hides powders and supplements a horse would otherwise leave in the pan.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMix Your Own:\u003c\/strong\u003e A clean base grain if you build rations with a balancer or your own blend.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti Species:\u003c\/strong\u003e A traditional grain for horses and widely fed to other livestock as well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFifty Pound Bag:\u003c\/strong\u003e The standard farm size, easy to stack and store in a feed bin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeed by weight alongside good hay or pasture, and remember that oats are lighter than a pellet, so the same scoop holds fewer pounds. Keep individual grain meals modest, generally under about five pounds for an average horse, and split larger daily amounts across two or three feedings. Introduce them gradually over seven to ten days. Because plain oats are an energy source rather than a fortified feed, pair them with a ration balancer, fortified feed, or mineral supplement so the overall diet stays balanced. Provide clean, fresh water at all times and store the bag sealed in a cool, dry, rodent proof space.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Blue Seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecies: Horses and livestock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeed Form: Steam crimped whole oats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBag Size: 50 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eStop by Garoppo's Stone \u0026amp; Garden Center and Feed \u0026amp; Pet Supply to pick up a bag, or schedule local delivery within our service area.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kent","offers":[{"title":"50 LB","offer_id":56036371759396,"sku":"42040","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/garoppos.com\/products\/blue-seal-steam-crimped-oats","provider":"Garoppo's Stone \u0026 Garden Center and Feed \u0026 Pet Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
