Wild Acres Whole Oats – Feed Oats for Horses, Poultry & Birds (1kg to 20kg)

Wild Acres Whole Feed Oats for Horses, Poultry and Birds

Wild Acres Oats are whole, feed-grade oats, a natural and versatile grain for feeding a range of animals including horses, poultry and compatible grain-eating birds such as parrots and cockatoos. They can be fed on their own or mixed with other suitable grains and feeds as part of a varied program. Available in 1kg, 2kg, 4kg and bulk 20kg bags, there is a size to suit anything from a single pet through to horses, aviaries and larger flocks.

A Natural Whole Grain Feed

These are whole, unprocessed feed oats, not rolled breakfast oats. Whole oats are a traditional energy grain that many animals handle well, and the intact husk means they store well and encourage natural feeding behaviour. Because they are whole, they suit animals able to chew, crack or shell the grain. For animals that do better on a softer form, whole oats can also be soaked, or you may prefer a rolled or crushed grain instead.

Feeding Horses

Whole oats have long been fed to horses as a straightforward energy feed. Introduce them gradually into the diet and feed a suitable amount for the horse's size, workload and condition, alongside good quality roughage such as hay or pasture, which should always make up the bulk of a horse's diet. Some horses digest rolled or crushed oats more efficiently than whole, so choose the form that best suits your horse, and make any feed changes slowly.

Feeding Poultry and Birds

Oats are a handy supplementary grain for poultry, offered as part of a scratch mix or feeding program. For birds, whole oats suit larger parrots and cockatoos, including galahs and corellas, that can shell and manage the grain, and they are also fed to pigeons and other birds able to handle whole oats. The grain size and husk may be too much for some small birds, so match the feed to the species and offer oats as part of a varied diet rather than the only food.

Part of a Balanced Diet

Whole oats are a supplementary grain, not a complete feed. On their own they do not supply every vitamin, mineral and nutrient an animal needs for long-term health, so they are best fed alongside appropriate roughage, formulated feeds, and fresh foods to suit the animal. Dietary needs vary between species and individuals, so adjust feeding to the animal in front of you and always provide clean, fresh drinking water.

Sizes for Every Setup

Wild Acres Oats come in 1kg, 2kg and 4kg packs for smaller needs and single animals, and an economical 20kg bulk bag for horses, aviaries, breeders and larger flocks. The range makes it easy to buy the right amount, whether you feed a little as a supplement or get through grain regularly.

How to Feed and Store

Offer the oats in a clean, dry feeder, on their own or combined with other species-appropriate feeds, and introduce them gradually when changing an animal's usual diet. Provide only what the animals will eat while fresh, remove husks and uneaten grain regularly, and discard any damp, spoiled or mouldy oats. If soaking or sprouting for birds, use clean equipment, prepare small amounts, rinse well, and never feed grain that smells off or shows mould, as moist grain spoils quickly in warm weather. Store the bag sealed in a cool, dry, ventilated spot off damp floors, and protect it from rain, humidity, insects and rodents. Always provide fresh drinking water.
