Teff Grass Hay - Feed Ingredient

Teff grass hay is used as a feed ingredient in equine diets primarily for its high fiber content and lower non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) levels. It serves as a source of roughage that supports digestive health and gut motility in horses

Compared to cool season grass, Teff grass hay often has a lower NSC content so it is often used in diets for horses prone to metabolic conditions such as insulin resistance, laminitis, or equine metabolic syndrome.

The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Teff Grass Hay as an ingredient.
