Teff Hay Pellets
A great option for horses with laminitis, Cushings, and metabolic syndrome.
Mountain Sunrise Feed has introduced a Teff hay pellet. This is exciting news! Attached is the guaranteed analysis.
“Teff grass is an annual, warm season bunchgrass with fine stems. It is considered an ancient grass traced back to eastern Africa. The demand for low non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) horse hay is growing due to the increased prevalence of equine metabolic disease and the associated risk of laminitis. Teff has been identified as an excellent forage for horses that require low NSC diets. Teff grass is palatable for all species and has a high nutrient content and low NSC.
“Teff grass has been recognized as an excellent hay option for many types of horses by nutritionists, veterinarians, and owners/managers. Quality teff grass hay is palatable, safe, and meets most nutritional requirements for mature horses, but its greatest promise to the equine community is its carbohydrate metabolism discussed previously. The principal effect of equine diets low in simple carbohydrates is to both prevent and treat the occurrence of equine laminitis. For horses with laminitis, Cushings, metabolic syndrome, an equine diet (hay, pasture, and concentrates) should contain less than 10% non-structural carbs (NSC, WSC + starch on a dry matter basis).” For more, visit: Check out the research UC Davis has done on Teff hay. https://alfalfasymposium.ucdavis.edu/+symposium/proceedings/2019/Articles/TeffasaForageCropNov2019Present_Shaw_Article.pdf
