Carolina Pride Whole Oats have been a trusted staple in livestock and equine diets for centuries, especially valued for their digestibility and nutritional balance. These oats continue to be a key ingredient in many Amber Grains products due to their versatility and health benefits. With lower starch and sugar than most cereal grains and a higher fiber content, they offer a wholesome, cost-effective calorie source for horses, poultry, sheep, and goats.
One of the standout advantages of Carolina Pride Whole Oats is their naturally high beta-glucan content. Beta-glucans are a form of soluble fiber that help regulate blood sugar levels, balance cholesterol, and promote a healthy digestive system by supporting beneficial gut flora. These attributes make whole oats not only a solid energy source but also a key contributor to overall animal wellness and performance.
Coker Feed Mill takes pride in sourcing most of its oats from farms across North Carolina. This approach supports local agriculture, sustains regional farming communities, and helps minimize transportation costs and environmental impact. Like other small grains such as wheat and barley grown in the U.S., Carolina Pride Whole Oats are non-GMO, giving farmers and animal owners added peace of mind.
Although CFM does not provide germination guarantees on bagged oats, many customers successfully plant them for forage and cover cropping. These oats germinate well in typical North Carolina soil conditions, especially in the fall. They are commonly used for overseeding pastures and attracting wildlife, making them a dual-purpose product for both feeding and land management.
Whether you’re aiming to boost fiber and energy in your animals’ diets or seeking a cold-tolerant forage option, Carolina Pride Whole Oats are a reliable and economical solution. Look for the brown Grain & Forage bag with the blue tag.
