ReadiGrass – The Natural Part of Your Horse’s Diet
ReadiGrass is a 100% natural feed, with all the goodness of ryegrass pastures captured in every bag. Made exclusively from British pastures, the unique low-temperature drying process removes the water, but leaves the fragrant grass aroma, vibrant colour and most importantly the high nutrient value of fresh grass. This gives a feed that is more nutritious than hay yet still contains the digestible fibre essential for every horse’s health’.
ReadiGrass is available in 15kg bales
ReadiGrass can be fed for a variety of reasons including;
- Horses with limited access to fresh pastures
- For horses with poor dentition and an inability to chew long stem fibres
- To prevent weight loss when horse comes in from summer grazing to winter stabling
- To avoid dust allergies caused by storage moulds in hay
- To supplement, or completely replace, poor quality hay with a low nutritional value
- As a treat or a change for a horse bored with winter forage
The benefits of ReadiGrass include:
- High feed value
- Rich in digestible fibre to aid correct gut function
- Natural source of nutrients including the correct Calcium: Phosphorus ratio
- Dust extracted for a healthy respiratory tract
- The drying process prevents fungal spores and other contaminants found in hay
- No molasses or additives
- Highly palatable to even fussy eaters
- Reduces bolting of feed and encourages chewing to sustain correct wear of teeth
- Reduces boredom – Edinburgh University research shows that short chop forage takes longer to eat than long chop forage
