can Oats be taken in a gluten free diet a systematic review
Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2007Co-Authors: Klara Garsed, Brian B ScottAbstract:Objective. There has long been doubt about the need to exclude Oats from a gluten-free diet (GFD). The objective of this study was to review the literature in order to arrive at a firm recommendation. Material and methods. Electronic databases were searched up to February 2006 using the terms “Oats” and “coeliac disease”. Results. Twenty relevant studies were found and presented. Early studies were small and uncontrolled and mostly indirect. In 10 studies involving 165 patients, only 1 patient was shown to have histological damage as a result of consuming Oats. Conclusions. Coeliac patients can, to some advantage, include Oats in a GFD although there may be the occasional patient who is also Oats sensitive. Previous conflicting results may have been partly due to contamination of Oats by wheat. Lest contamination is present and exceeds the safe threshold, we recommend that coeliac patients should only add Oats to their GFD when they are established on a conventional GFD, and stop eating Oats if they devel...

The productivity of Oats and berseem clover intercrops. I. Primary growth characteristics and forage quality at four densities of Oats
Grass and Forage Science, 2005Co-Authors: Shirley M. Ross, Jane R. King, John T. O'donovan, Dean SpanerAbstract:Berseem clover (Trifolium alexandrinum L.) was sown as an intercrop with Oats (Avena sativa L.) at 0, 30, 60, 90 and 240 Oats plants m−2 in May in 1999 and 2000 in Alberta, Canada. Forage yield and quality were measured at 10-d intervals between 35 and 88 d after planting (DAP). Yield is defined as the biomass above 6 cm of the soil surface. The dry-matter (DM) yield of berseem clover in sole crops increased by 5–10 g m−2 d−1 between 35 and 55 DAP and then increased by 21–28 g m−2 d−1 between 55 and 75 DAP. The DM yields of Oats sown at 240 plants m−2 increased by 26–28 g m−2 d−1 over the whole period from 35 to 75 DAP. Oats were the dominant component in the intercrops, even at low densities of Oats. Berseem clover grown with 60 Oats plants m−2 received only 0·24 of the incident light when shading by Oats peaked at 65 DAP. DM yields of berseem clover in intercrops with 60 Oats plants m−2 averaged 0·14–0·32 of the yields of berseem clover sole crops. Between 35 and 88 DAP in 2000, the crude protein (CP) concentration of berseem clover sole crops declined linearly from 310 to 180 g kg−1 DM, and the CP concentration of Oats exhibited a quadratic response, declining from 350 g kg−1 DM at tillering to 110 g kg−1 DM at the soft dough stage. The mean CP concentration of berseem clover in intercrops with 60 Oats plants m−2 was 25 g kg−1 less than in berseem clover sole crops, indicating that competition by Oats reduced the CP concentration of berseem clover. At later sampling dates, CP and DM yields of intercrops with Oats at 60 plants m−2 equalled those with Oats at 240 plants m−2. The addition of berseem clover to Oats in intercrops at 60 Oats plants m−2 reduced the neutral-detergent fibre concentration by 30 g kg−1 DM compared with Oats alone. Oats were very competitive as a companion crop for berseem clover. Adding berseem clover to Oats increased forage quality and may provide for increased intake and digestibility of forage to support higher livestock productivity.

The productivity of Oats and berseem clover intercrops. II. Effects of cutting date and density of Oats on annual forage yield
Grass and Forage Science, 2005Co-Authors: Shirley M. Ross, Jane R. King, John T. O'donovan, Dean SpanerAbstract:Annual forage yields of intercrops of berseem clover (Trifolium alexandrinum L.) and Oats (Avena sativa L.), as affected by timing of initial harvest and sowing rate of Oats, were investigated. Berseem clover was intercropped with Oats at 0, 30, 60, 90 and 240 plants m−2 of Oats in 1999 and 2000 in Alberta, Canada. Cutting date treatments involved initial harvest at 10-d intervals between 35 and 88 d after planting (DAP), and one or two subsequent harvests of regrowth. Total intercrop dry-matter (DM) yield averaged 12·9–13·3 t ha−1 with proportions of 0·21–0·43 of berseem clover in the forage. Treatments with an initial cut at the silage stage of Oats (76 DAP in 1999, 88 DAP in 2000, at about soft-dough stage of Oats) had greater yields of Oats, lower yields of berseem clover, and lower proportions of berseem clover in total annual yields than treatments with an earlier initial cut. Total crude protein (CP) yield was greater with an initial cut at 65–66 DAP than with a silage-stage initial cut. With an initial cut at 35 DAP (before stem elongation of Oats) or after 65 DAP (after heading of Oats), yield potential of Oats was sometimes reduced compared with silage-stage treatments, but this was balanced by a greater yield of berseem clover. The impact of harvest timing on total yield decreased as the proportion of berseem clover in the intercrops increased. With decreasing density of Oats, DM yield of first-cut intercrops and total DM yield of Oats decreased, while regrowth and total DM yields of berseem clover increased. Intercrops with Oats at 60 plants m−2 had equal or greater total DM and CP yields than intercrops with 240 plants m−2 of Oats. For intercrops with Oats at 60 plants m−2, with initial cuts at 65–66, 75–76, or 88 DAP, yields of regrowths were 0·30–0·35, 0·16–0·26 and 0·09 of the total yield respectively. Oats–berseem clover intercrops showed potential to manipulate the pattern of annual forage yield and to provide flexibility of harvest without reducing annual yields.

Food avoidance by adult house finches,Carpodacus mexicanus, affects seed preferences of offspring
Animal Behaviour, 1996Co-Authors: Michael L. AveryAbstract:Abstract In altricial birds, the food habits of young birds may be affected by extended parental contact. To examine this, five nesting pairs of captive adult house finches were exposed to hulled Oats treated with an aversive agent, methiocarb. During the nestling and early fledgling stages, juvenile finches raised by adults that avoided Oats received 30–40 times less exposure to hulled Oats than did juveniles raised by adults that ate Oats. After they were separated from the adults, the juveniles had no further access to Oats or to canary seed, the alternative untreated food, until tested individually at 10–12, 20–22, and 35–38 weeks of age. There was no relationship between the juvenile birds’ exposure to Oats in the early nestling stage and their subsequent oat preference scores. Birds raised by adults that avoided Oats during the late nestling and fledgling stages, however, displayed lower oat preference scores than did birds raised by adults that ate Oats. Thus, dietary aversion to Oats established in adult birds was expressed in the seed preferences of their offspring.

sequential cropping technology of forage oat in summer Oats area
Journal of Shanxi Agricultural Sciences, 2011Co-Authors: Wang YuchunAbstract:Results of sequential cropping technology of the combinations of buckwheat + forage oat and forage oat + forage oat showed that,in summer Oats area sequential cropping method of a crop of seeds plus a crop of forage or two crops of forage were feasible.Seeds 2 648.70 kg/hm2 and grass 16 443.30 kg/hm2 respectively could be got by planting the early mature variety 185 as the first crop and skin Oats variety XZ04170 as the second crop in naked Oats + forage Oats,combination;The grass output could reach 34 751.7 kg/hm2 by only planting the same skin Oats variety XZ04170 in two crops in the forage Oats + forage Oats combination.The grass output in the first combination was 89.81% of the second.
