HAY RHODES GRASS

Rhodes grass is a subtropical grass which means it can’t store large amounts of starch or water soluble carbohydrates (WSC).

Rhodes grass will usually have a starch + WSC content (known together as the non-structural carbohydrates, or NSC) of less than 12% making it consistently safe to feed to horses that need a low NSC diet. Including laminitic horses and ponies.

Rhodes grass hay is usually a moderate protein, moderate calorie hay (depending on its stage of growth when it was harvested) so it lends itself well to being the base hay in almost any horse’s diet.

Rhodes grass is an excellent choice for horse feed due to its nutritional benefits and digestibility. Here are some key points:

• Nutritional Value: Rhodes grass is rich in essential nutrients such as fiber, protein, and carbohydrates, promoting overall health and well-being in horses. 
• Low Sugar Content: It is low in sugar, making it suitable for horses prone to laminitis or metabolic syndrome. 
• Digestibility: Rhodes grass is highly digestible, which is beneficial for horses with sensitive digestive systems.
