MMF Cooked Rolled Oats 25kg

MMF Cooked Rolled Oats 25kg

A classic feed ingredient, reimagined for modern equine and ruminant nutrition. MMF Cooked Rolled Oats are micronised and lightly rolled to preserve the natural husk, delivering a highly digestible, palatable energy source that horses and ruminants love.

Key Benefits

• Micronised for superior digestibility — infrared cooking breaks down starch for improved small intestine absorption
• Husk preserved — rolling retains the natural fibre-rich husk, supporting healthy gut function
• Highly palatable — readily accepted by horses, ponies, and ruminants
• Versatile complementary feed — mix into existing rations to boost digestible energy
• Particularly beneficial for ruminant diets — the preserved husk aids rumen function
• 25kg bag — practical for yards, smallholdings, and feed rooms

How to Feed

Mix into your horse's or ruminant's existing feed ration. Introduce gradually over 7–10 days. Feeding quantities will vary depending on the animal's size, workload, and overall diet. Always ensure fresh, clean water is available at all times.

FAQ

What does micronising do to oats?

Micronising uses infrared heat to cook and gelatinise the starch within the oat grain, making it significantly more digestible than raw or traditionally rolled oats. More energy is absorbed in the small intestine, reducing the risk of undigested starch reaching the hindgut.

Why is the husk preserved?

The husk is a natural source of fibre that supports healthy gut motility in both horses and ruminants. Preserving it during the rolling process means you get the digestibility benefits of micronising without sacrificing fibre content.

Are these suitable for horses prone to laminitis or EMS?

Oats contain starch, so they may not be appropriate for horses with laminitis, EMS, or insulin dysregulation. We recommend consulting your vet or equine nutritionist before feeding to at-risk animals.

Can I feed these to cattle or sheep?

Yes — MMF Cooked Rolled Oats are particularly well-suited to ruminant diets, where the preserved husk supports rumen function alongside the digestible starch energy.

How much should I feed per day?

Feeding rates vary by species, size, and workload. As a starting guide for horses, 200–500g per day is typical; adjust based on body condition and energy requirements. Always introduce new feeds gradually.
