Grass Forage - Feed Ingredient

Grass forage refers to the fresh or dried grasses that serve as the primary fiber source in equine diets. Common types of grass forage include timothy, orchardgrass, brome, fescue, and Bermuda grass. It provides essential fiber, which supports gut health, proper digestion, and overall well-being in horses.

In equine nutrition, grass forage is typically fed as pasture, hay, or haylage, depending on availability and storage methods. It can be used as the primary forage source, processed into pellets or cubes as a forage replacement, or included as an ingredient in concentrate feeds to provide fiber-based calories. Grass forage supplies energy, protein, and important vitamins and minerals, though nutrient content varies based on grass species, soil quality, and maturity at harvest.

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