Cereal grains include corn, oats, barley, etc. Grains are the harvested seed portions of cereal crops that serve as a high nutrient store. Cereal grains can be fed to horses as the whole grain or processed by cracking, rolling, crimping, steam flaking, or extruding. Grains are very palatable, dense, and usually low in fiber if processed correctly.
