One use of grains is for feeding livestock like horses. Some
grains that horses are fed are oats, barley and corn.
Oats, like many grains, are grown outdoors. After
plantation, the crops take around 45 days to mature and be ready to harvest. Corn
takes even shorter to grown while barley takes the longest to grow- up to 70
days.
While humans generally eat rolled oats for breakfast, horses
eat whole oats. Grains may be fed by themselves or compressed with other food
and vitamins. My horse, Pondie, eats whole oats and barley compressed with
vitamins.
