Bruising cracks the husk enough for the horse to get at the kernel while leaving the grain largely intact, so the oats hold their nutrient value longer in the bin and throw far less dust than a crushed oat does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOats are the traditional quick-release energy source and that is exactly what this is — a straight, not a compound feed. There are no added vitamins or minerals in the bag, so oats go on top of a balanced diet rather than in place of one.
