Eagrostis Bale

Eragrostis Bale is a popular grass hay roughage for horses, providing essential long-stem fibre as part of a balanced equine feeding programme.

Eragrostis is widely used in South Africa as an everyday forage for horses and ponies. It can be fed alongside an appropriate concentrate or balancer according to the horse’s individual nutritional requirements, workload and body condition.

Why Feed Eragrostis?

Forage should form the foundation of most horses’ diets. Good-quality grass hay provides fibre that supports normal digestive function while helping satisfy the horse’s natural requirement to spend significant periods eating forage.

Eragrostis is commonly used as a grass-hay roughage source in South African equine feeding programmes and can be combined with other forage types depending on the horse’s requirements.

Feeding Guide

The amount of Eragrostis required will depend on the horse’s body weight, workload, body condition, access to grazing and the remainder of its diet.

Ensure horses have access to adequate forage and clean, fresh drinking water. Changes to forage should be introduced gradually.

For horses with specific nutritional or medical requirements, an appropriate equine nutritionist or veterinarian should be consulted.
