Grass seed hay

What are the benefits of grass seed hay?

Grass seed hay is known for its naturally firm texture. This helps meet the chewing needs of grazing animals and keeps your animal occupied with its forage for longer. At the same time, grass seed hay contains lower levels of nutrients and sugar.

This makes it suitable as part of the diet of horses and ponies that gain weight easily, for example, or when you want to pay close attention to nutritional values. You don’t have to feed less than you normally would, while your animal can still lose weight. As every batch is different, we provide the analysis results for each one. This helps you assess which grass seed hay is best suited to your animal. Grass seed hay can also be an excellent alternative to other types of hay.

Where does our grass seed hay come from?

Our grass seed hay comes from selected meadows across Europe. We look not only at the nutritional values, but also at the texture, smell, taste and dust levels.

By selecting our hay carefully and baling it in the right way, we preserve its natural texture as much as possible. This also helps reduce dust inside the bales while retaining the important nutrients, vitamins and flavours in the hay. This means you can choose our grass seed hay with confidence.

Grass seed hay for animals that need a lower-energy diet

Good to know! Grass seed hay is available in different bale sizes and can be a useful addition or alternative within the daily forage ration. A batch with lower nutritional values can be particularly interesting for animals that gain weight easily or are sensitive to richer feed.

Always check the analysis of the individual batch and adjust the amount you feed to your animal’s needs.

In addition to grass seed hay, Hay to You also offers meadow hay and alfalfa with a PAVO analysis.
