Incorporating oat hay into your goat’s diet can be a game-changer in terms of nutrition and overall well-being. Possibly the most important factor is the amount of fibre the hay contains. Fibre is affected by the levels of protein in the hay and the higher the amount of fibre the lower the quality is, hay should contain < 35% fibre (Van Suan, 2013). This is because fibrous material is generally the more golden straw coloured strands which are more brittle and dry, compared to the more green (and tasty) parts. Piggies tend to prefer the green tasty bits but will eat some of the golden strands as well. Elaine Watson (25 September 2020).

Yields range from 60to 80 US bushels per acre (5.2–7.0m 3/ha) on marginal land, to 100to 150 US bushels per acre (8.7–13.1m 3/ha) on high-producing land. The average production is 100 US bushels per acre (8.7m 3/ha), or 3.5 metric tons per hectare (1.4long ton/acre; 1.6short ton/acre). Straw yields are variable, ranging from 1–3 metric tons per hectare (0.40–1.19long ton/acre; 0.45–1.34short ton/acre), mainly due to available nutrients and the variety used (some are short-strawed, meant specifically for straight combining).

Guinea pigs need a balanced diet and oat hay can be a good option to maintain it. This hay possesses high fibers, protein, and fat. Not only that it provides plenty of vitamins and minerals.

If your guinea pig is one of them, you can use oat hay to feed them.

Intuitively, resolution of symptoms, normalization of histology, and normalization of coeliac antibodies should define response to treatment. But asymptomatic CD may occur in up to 50% of affected individuals, 5 symptoms correlate poorly with mucosal pathology, 6 and even with excellent dietary adherence, histology and coeliac antibodies can take several years to normalize. 7

They can trigger celiac disease in a small proportion of people. [2] [3] Also, oat products are frequently contaminated by other gluten-containing grains, mainly wheat and barley. [3] [4] [5]Excess fats and oils can be converted into glucose which can upset the gut flora (Guinea Piggles, 2018a). Too much can also cause health issues such as obesity and diabetes. Any guinea pig food such as hay, but also including nuggets, should contain around 1-2% crude oils and fats (Guinea Piggles, 2018a). Moreover, the high fiber content found in oat hay not only aids in digestion but also acts as a natural dental care r egime for our goat companions.

As they chew on this fibrous delight, it stimulates saliva production which assists in maintaining proper oral health. Moderate protein levelsPets at Home sells their own brand timothy, meadow and orchard hays, alongside named brands like Oxbow, Science Selective and Burgess amongst others: When it comes to discussing goat nutrition, we cannot overlook the marvel that is their unique digestive system.
