Description

Fibre forage is the basis for feeding equidae.

Chopped hay can be fed as a hay substitute in amounts that meet your horse's needs. If you use it as a complete hay supplement, your horse needs 2-2.5% of it per day on a dry matter basis.

A handful of this horse feed made from shredded grass can be mixed with vitamin and mineral supplements.

Chopped hay can be fed in a bucket, in a feeder or even in a hay net, but DO NOT feed from the ground. It produces almost no waste, is tasty and easy to chew, and is available in times of drought and hay shortages.

Proper chewing is the first step in the digestive process, the longer the chewing time, the more saliva is produced and the better the digestion.
A dental problems can affect horses as they age and make it difficult for them to chew long-stem hay efficiently. In older horses, it is common for teeth to become worn and possibly move, making chewing inefficient and painful, resulting in reduced feed intake, impaired digestion and potential weight loss or malnutrition. Older horses need well digestible sources of protein and calcium to make up for these losses. Short stalked forage meets this need as it is easier to chew and digest than standard long stalked hay. Chopped hay is rich in natural nutrients and fibre.

The shorter length and finer texture of shredded hay makes it easier for horses with dental problems to chew and digest. Chopped hay also ensures that these horses are guaranteed the nutrition they need, promoting their overall health and well-being.

Chopped hay is an ideal source of nutrients for metabolic problemsfor horses suffering from. A grass mixture that provides quality digestible feed, natural fibre and the necessary protein.

Safe to feed respiratory problems in the case of. Shredded feed, which has undergone a high temperature drying process, is the first choice not only for its nutritional value. The heat treatment also kills harmful mould spores that can lead to respiratory allergies. This gives horses access to fibre without the risk of inhaling dust and mould spores, which is common when feeding baled hay, for example. The efficient but gentle drying process also preserves the beneficial nutrients that would be lost in the traditional process of drying hay in the sun.

Advantage over carbon pelletsno soaking, longer feed intake time, your horse has to chew, allowing efficient chewing and digestion. Although chopped hay does not need to be soaked, it may be useful to add water immediately before feeding.

It takes horses much longer to chew chopped fibre, so mixing chopped fibre into the grain feed helps the horse to stop foaming, chew more and produce more saliva, aiding digestion.

Consumption of fibre increases the water consumption, and the extra water remains in the cecum until absorption. The horse's caecum also serves to store water and electrolytes. During exercise, when dehydration can be a problem, it can help keep the horse hydrated and replenish electrolytes lost through sweat. Bottom line - it encourages water consumption and builds up fluid reserves in the caecum.

"My horse is thin, he needs to gain weight" - On average, hay provides about 8 MJ/kg of digestible energy. A 500 kg horse stabled overnight typically consumes 5-6 kg of hay per night, providing 40-48 MJ. If this amount is difficult for the horse to eat, this usually results in weight loss. By replacing long fibre feed with chopped hay, you can help your horse gain weight and provide the fibre that is essential for a healthy digestive system. Chopped fibre forages provide a high quality feed supplement.

How useful a source of fibre is to a horse in terms of weight gain or energy supply depends on its digestibility. Digestibility is influenced by a number of factors, including the type of plant, the environmental conditions during growth and, in particular, the age of the plant at harvest. The more mature the plant is at harvest, the more indigestible fibre it contains and therefore the less digestible it is. Straw and late cut hay, which can feel coarse in the hand, are good examples of low digestible fibre sources. These types of fibre are not useful for horses that are lean. Examples of higher digestibility fibre types include early cut soft leaf hay and alfalfa. For horses that need to gain weight, therefore, the focus should be on feeding these types of fibre.

A top looks and health, work ethic the horse must be at a healthy weight, have enough good quality protein in its feed and need exercise at an intensity sufficient to build muscle. A good horse on restricted rations to manage weight may lack good quality protein in the diet. This can be easily remedied by the addition of a feed supplement that provides not only a broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals, but also good quality protein.

Always provide your horse with a licking salt and plenty of fresh, clean water.
