Wheat Hay - Feed Ingredient

Wheat hay is a forage made from the entire wheat plant, harvested before the grain fully matures, offering a moderate-fiber, low-to-moderate protein option for horses.

It is a good source of digestible forage, though it typically has a higher non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) content than some grass hays, making it less suitable for horses prone to metabolic disorders like laminitis or insulin resistance. When properly harvested and free of awns (bristle-like structures that can cause irritation), wheat hay can be a good forage source for horses.

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