Oat Straw - Feed Ingredient

Oat straw is the dried stalk residue that remains after the oat grain has been harvested. It consists primarily of stems and leaves and is commonly baled for use as bedding or forage for livestock. In equine nutrition, oat straw is primarily valued as a source of fiber and roughage.

As a feed ingredient for horses, oat straw provides indigestible fiber that supports chewing activity and contributes to gastrointestinal health. While it is low in digestible energy and protein, its high fiber content makes it a suitable inclusion in rations where additional bulk is desired without significantly increasing caloric intake. Oat straw can be especially useful in managing horses requiring weight control or those prone to metabolic disorders that benefit from high-fiber, low-calorie diets.

The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Oat Straw as an ingredient.
