Highly digestible source of energy · hydrothermally rolled · low-dust and longer shelf life · for animals with increased energy requirements Hydrothermally rolled oats as a highly digestible source of energy for animals with increased performance requirements or weakened animals

Oats have high levels of digestive mucilage (ß-Glucans), a comparatively high fat content and high amounts of unsaturated fatty acids, such as essential linoleic acid. Compared to other types of grain, oat protein is characterized by a particularly high amount of lysine, which is an important protein building block for healthy growth and a well-functioning immune system.
85% of the easily digestible starch can be broken down in the horses´ small intestine and converted into readily available energy - this is what has made oats so famous as a traditional concentrate in horse feeding.

The high husk content (approx. 25%) makes oats the most fiber-rich type of grain, what, depending on the animal species, promotes the chewing process with improved salivation. With its low calcium: phosphorus ratio, oats can also be integrated very well into a calcium-reduced feed. In standard diets the high phosphorus content may have to be compensated by an additional mineral feed.

The heat treatment during our rolling process inactivates fat-splitting enzymes in the oat grain by what the grains remain stable. Disadvantages such as moulds or rancidity, which can occur after standard rolling process with an oat crusher, are therefore excluded with our hydrothermally rolled oats. The slight molasses content ensures a longer shelf life.
