The multifunctional uses of oats include forage, fodder, straw for bedding, hay, haylage, silage chaff, human food; most commonly, they are rolled or crushed into oat meal or ground into fine oat flour. The major components of oats that contribute to its function include β-glucan, protein, oil, and starch. The minor protein of oat is a prolamine. Application of 100 to 120 Kg N ha-1 recorded significantly higher growth as well as yield attributes resulting in higher green and dry fodder yield (q ha-1) as compared to 80, 60 and 40 Kg N ha-1. Significantly higher values of Crude Protein, Crude Fibre, Acid Detergent Fibre, Neutral Detergent Fibre, N, P and K content in dry fodder and total uptake by oat were recorded due to application of 100 Kg N ha-1.
