Re: Field pea + hullless oat for forage



A couple things to think about, naked oat groats are high in lipid which 
would enhance the energy contant when compared with other feeds.  
However, there is some Canadian information that high moisture levels 
which may occur in a forage mix and high temperature may increase 
hydrolytic rancidity.  This would be a more serious problem in 
monogastrics if levels are seriously eleveated.  Ref is Nontradtional 
feed sources for use in swine production, Thacker, P.N. and R. N 
Kirkwood, Butterworths, 1990, page 275.
Why is barley hulless and oats is "naked"?
