The common oat (Avena sativa) is a species of cereal grain grown for its seed, which is known by the same name (usually in the plural, unlike other grains). While oats are suitable for human consumption as oatmeal and rolled oats, one of the most common uses is as livestock feed. Oats make up a large part of the diet of horses and are regularly fed to cattle as well. Oats are also used in some brands of dog and chicken feed.

Origin

The wild ancestor of Avena sativa and the closely related minor crop, A. byzantina, is the hexaploid wild oat A. sterilis. Genetic evidence shows that the ancestral forms of A. sterilis grow in the Fertile Crescent of the Near East. Domesticated oats appear relatively late, and far from the Near East, in Bronze Age Europe. Oats, like rye, are usually considered a secondary crop, i.e. derived from a weed of the primary cereal domesticates wheat and barley. As these cereals spread westwards into cooler, wetter areas, this may have favoured the oat weed component, leading to its eventual domestication.

Is oat flour the same as rolled oats ground to a powder?
Q. I have a recipe that calls for rolled oats to be ground to a powder and it's too time consuming.

A. No! There is a reason to the science of using "rolled oats". There are substitue methods and flours you can use but to achieve the desired finished results of the recipe you must stick to the formula. Due to the different compound make-ups of the various types of wheat flours a variation makes a big change, this may help clear this up for you:

What is a better grain to feed my horse to increase his weight. Barley or oats?
Q. He is a 5 year old thoroughbred who is not in work. I have been told a few different answers. Some prefer oats other barley. Does any one know which is the better of the two?
Asked by Horse Fan - Tue Jan 15 18:37:49 2008 - - 14 Answers - 0 Comments

A. In my personal experience, I had a very hot thoroughbred that I had difficulty keeping him cool ( i.e. less nutty) and straight oats or sweet feed was out of the question. I did some investigating and found out that years ago, barley was the preferred grain fed to Arabians to keep them fit and cool. I tried it and It worked for my horse. Just remember that any change in feed must be done gradually to avoid any risk of colic or founder. Personally if you want to increase weight, I would feed a little corn or beet pulp, plus a good quality mixed hay. Good Luck and I hope that helps.
