The nutritive benefits of oats for both human consumption and animal feeding stimulate scientifically based breeding efforts to obtain new varieties, including brown oat grain (black oat). It is a fodder the cereal is used chiefly for racehorses. The objective of the present research was to compare the contents of the selected nutrients, i.e. crude protein, crude fat, composition of fatty acids and minerals in grain of three black oat strains: CHD 28/75/01, CHD 28/ /33/02 and CHD 2909/01 with reference to two oat standard varieties (Bohun and Deresz), commonly grown in Poland. The three new black oat strains showed varied crude protein levels and a slightly lower crude fat content compared to the oat standard varieties Bohun and Deresz. The black oat strain CHD 28/75/01 exhibited the highest percentage of unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) versus the other strains and varieties. This oat strain grain is also characterized by a substantially higher content of magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, copper and iron than the other strains and varieties investigated.
