[QUOTE="Agrivator, post: 7832712, member: 461"] 1000 grains of oats weigh about 33gms. So a kg of oats contains about 30,000 grains. If you feed your cows 2kg of oats, they consume 60,000 grains. If they dung 6 times daily and each pat contains 35 whole grains, that comes to 210 grains passing through. 210/60,000 is 0.35% And the 0.35% either feeds the birds, or it goes back on the land. So I wouldn't worry too much about it. [/QUOTE]
