Experiment in Feeding Work Horses at Ohio Station
The Ohio station reports long term trials begun 1907 comparing corn and oats for work horses. Six mature Percheron geldings were split into teams. one horse in each team fed oats and the other corn, with 48 weeks of equal work. Results show corn does not harm health or endurance and may offer cost efficiency. oats may perform similarly but no conclusive proof favors pure corn or pure oats. The study stresses individual horse variation and suggests corn can have a large role when market conditions justify it.
