Oat Hay

I was just looking at my bags of hay:D and I noticed that the oat hay is higher in protein than the Timothy hay or Orchard Grass. Do you think it's okay to feed it freely (which I do at the moment)?
 
Like with everything feed in moderation, but alongside other hays so that they have a never ending supply. If you find you get excess caecals it will be due to the protein content. You then need to consider reducing the amount you give.
 
I feed freely but, less than meadow, they have a combo of different hays daily but, they do get a good size handful daily and I haven't noticed any problems at all.:wave:
 
I usually check all the calcium content, but just happened to notice the protein content - you get obsessed don't you?
