Feeding Information

Oat hay can be offered as part of a balanced forage-based diet. Introduce new forage gradually, particularly when changing from one type of hay to another.

For horses, forage intake should be considered alongside body weight, workload, age, condition and any additional feeds being provided.

For rabbits and small herbivores, good-quality grass or suitable hay should remain an important part of the diet, with additional forage selected according to their nutritional requirements.

Always provide access to fresh, clean drinking water.

Storage

Store hay in a dry, well-ventilated area, protected from rain, damp ground and excessive moisture. Proper storage helps maintain freshness, palatability and forage quality.
