Nutrition of Oat Sprouts

[familychickenman]

Does anyone know the nutrition of Oat sprouts (ie protein, amino acids, vitamins and minerals) I have searched around a lot online and I cant seem to find it. I started sprouting oats for my chickens but did not know what kind of nutrition it was providing.

thanks

I will have to check with my mom. but I do know that sprouts are really good for you and your birds, they have a higher nutritional value than adult plants.
