Oats are also commonly used as feed for horses when extra carbohydrates and the subsequent boost in energy are required. The oat hull may be crushed (rolled or crimped) for the horse to more easily digest the grain, or may be fed whole. They may be given alone or as part of a blended food pellet. Cattle are also fed oats, either whole or ground into a coarse flour using a roller mill, burr mill, or hammer mill.

Scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water, and then pat them dry using a towel or paper towel. Use a paring knife to trim away any blemishes.
