Can anyone explain the difference to me between crimped oats and rolled oats? Is there any nutritional difference between the 2?
Thanks in advance

I am afraid that your logic is bad. In a 50 pound bag of whole oats there are just as many oats as there are in a 50 pound bag of crimped or rolled oats. Feed is sold by weight, not by volume. If you feed by volume (a cup, a coffee can, etc.) instead of by weight (ounces, pounds, etc.) you are feeding your horse more oats per feeding if you feed whole oats versus crimped or rolled oats, but you are not getting or feeding "waste" when you feed crimped or rolled oats. Actually, you ARE experiencing A LOT more waste (money) by feeding your horse whole oats versus crimped or rolled oats because more whole oats pass through your horse whole (and undigested, to no benefit to your horse) than by feeding your horse crimped or rolled oats would.Hi Jen,
I feed whole oats or race horse oats, or triple cleaned oats, all are basically the same and are higher quality than regular crimped oats. If you weight a cup of crimped and a cup of the triple cleaned or whole oats, the latter is heavier, there is less waste in it. I have found that Race Horse Oats(Blue Seal) are the easiest to get around here.

As far as I can tell, you are the one that brought weight into the topic!I don't think anyone here would argue that point, hence bringing in weight to the topic at all
