3 Things To Know Before Feeding Grass Hay

Before feeding your horse grass hay, consider these three key factors:
1. Protein Levels: Alfalfa typically has higher protein content than grass hay, so assess your horse's protein needs before choosing a forage.
2. Consistency: Grass hay offers more stable production, with a longer window for cutting, ensuring a reliable supply throughout the year.
3. Sugar and Starch Levels: While grass hay may seem lower in sugar and starch, levels can vary. Alfalfa tends to have lower sugar and starch content on average.
Understanding these differences can help you make the best choice for your horse and keep them happy and healthy! 🌾 #horsecare #equinenutrition #horsehealth
