Every oat I've ever fed was 8-12% protein. There is a hulless variety that has much higher nutrition value, but I've never even seen these much less fed them.
Fermenting grains up their nutrition value not lower them. But I quite fermenting oats 10 yrs ago. I found just soaking them did just as well and it weakened the hull for digestion. Weakening hulls don't devalue oats because poultry don't need fiber like other living beings.
I do not ferment their pellets. I never personally saw the value in it, much less the miracle results some claim on the ol' inter web. But at times I would soak their pellets till they soften. This was generally in the heat of summer or bitter cold when moisture consumption was of high priority
