Document Summary
Grown more in the dark brown, black and grey soil zones. Oats are less then 3% of cereal world production. Monogastrics - oat has the lowest digestible energy of all cereals due to the hull ** Ruminants can digest up tp 50% of bre. Oat has the highest amount of fat content of our cereals ** ** death can occur due to over consumption of oat grain by young animals. Prolamins - are a group of plant storage proteins having a high proline content and found in the seeds of cereal grains. Celiac disease is caused by a reaction to these proteins. Prolamins are proteins in the endosperm that are put in late in kernel developments. Oats have a good amino acid balance because of the type of proteins. Oat has antioxidant properties which retards the oxidation of oils and prevents them from becoming rancid. Groats have high energy value, high protein , good amino acid balance, non allergenic.
