Bermuda Grass Hay - Feed Ingredient

Bermuda grass hay is used as a feed ingredient in equine diets primarily for its high fiber content and moderate protein levels. It serves as a source of roughage, which is essential for maintaining gut motility and digestive health in horses. Compared to legume hays like alfalfa, Bermuda grass hay has lower protein and calcium levels, making it a suitable option for horses that require a forage with lower energy density. It is often included in formulated feeds and supplements to provide structured fiber while supporting digestive function.

Bermuda grass hay can be included in feeds in multiple forms to accommodate different feeding preferences and management systems. Chopped Bermuda grass hay consists of short-cut dried hay, while Bermuda grass hay meal is finely ground and commonly used in pelleted and extruded feeds for consistent nutrient distribution. Bermuda grass hay pellets and cubes are also available as processed options, offering a convenient way to provide fiber in a controlled form.

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