Test Methods of Feeding Oats to Steer Calves AMBS
The Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station fed four steer calves in two lots for 138 days to compare oats and corn. Lot 1 used whole oats with shelled corn, Lot 2 used ground oats with ground shelled corn. Calves preferred oats or corn differently, gains were similar, and data suggest oats should not exceed one third of grain in the ration for best finish. Ground grains increased feeding costs slightly.

Ground Oats Outperform Corn for Poultry Diets, Iowa Study Finds
Iowa Experiment Station findings by Dr. H L Wilcke show ground oats in a single grain ration yield healthier chicks with better feathering than corn or wheat. An 82 percent oats, 15 percent dried milk, and 1 percent each of ground oyster shell, steamed bone meal, salt, and cod liver oil produced strong gains, while corn led to slower growth and poor feathering. Perosis cases appeared in some chicks, and oats diets improved when oyster shell and steamed bone meal rose to 2 percent each, indicating oats contain a growth promoting constituent absent in corn.
