Ground oats and corn yield similar gains for cattle
Ohio Experiment Station findings show oats fed with corn can fatten yearling cattle nearly as well as corn alone. In a 140 day trial at Madison County, cattle given five pounds ground oats plus five pounds shelled corn plus linseed meal gained 296 pounds each, while corn-only cattle gained 399 pounds. Oats reduced feed cost per hundred pounds gain and allowed partial pig credits. Farmers with oats should mix oats with corn and reduce other protein supplements, extending feeding slightly for similar returns.
