Description
Put clean, high-fiber grain energy in the feed pan with Purina Grainland Select Premium Whole Oats. Oats have been the traditional horseman's grain for good reason — the hull adds bulk and fiber that make them a forgiving grain to feed, and the phosphorus they carry helps balance rations built on grass hay. This is single-ingredient grain: whole oats, and nothing else on the tag.
Key Features
- Single ingredient: Whole oats and nothing more, so you know exactly what is going in the bucket.
- High hull and fiber content: The bulk that makes oats forgiving, and the reason many experienced cattlemen start weaned calves on oats as the only or major grain.
- High in phosphorus: Helps raise phosphorus levels in horse diets built on grass or hay that runs short of it.
- Concentrated energy for horses: A time-tested way to add fuel and condition to a working horse's ration.
- Ruminant meat and bone free: Safe to keep in a barn that also feeds cattle, sheep and goats.
- 50 lb bag: Purina item 2671016-106.
Where It Fits
Oats are the grain to reach for when you want energy without the punch that comes with corn: a horse in light work, an easy keeper who needs a little something in the pan at feeding time, or weaned calves being started on grain for the first time. Because oats are bulky, a scoop of them carries fewer calories than the same scoop of corn — which is exactly what makes them harder to overfeed by accident. Weigh what you feed rather than trusting the scoop, especially when switching a horse over from a pelleted or textured feed.
Feeding Directions
Feed as a source of grain in measured amounts — do not feed free choice. Oats are not a complete feed, so provide forage as hay or pasture, fresh water, salt, and a vitamin and mineral supplement suited to the species you are feeding. Introduce any change in grain gradually over several days.
