*Information below* I hope the following information helps, I just did an assignment on the exact topic, and this was the fruit of my paper. I think this is what you're asking for, as I don't know of any other Colombian Exchange, but if the information is irrelevant and unhelpful, then I apologize in advance.

In the new world, oats were a new source of food, a hardy one which could survive harsh soil conditions other plants could not (thus it was a good crop to grow, as opposed to other wheats that suffered in poor soil). It had been a staple in the old world, and become such in the new world as well (currently the third most grown crop in the USA, fourth worldwide, and especially useful in cereals). Approximately 95% of oats were and are used as animal feed, which helped in raising livestock to eat, as oats were cheap and easy to grow (not that they aren't anymore). Scientific name Avena sativa.
