Teff Bag (9kg)

Teff is a popular forage option for horses, providing a practical source of long-stem fibre that can form part of a balanced equine feeding programme.

Supplied in convenient large bags of approximately 9kg, Teff is easy to store, handle and feed, making it a useful alternative to traditional bales for horse owners and stable yards.

As a forage, Teff helps contribute to the horse's daily fibre and roughage intake, supporting normal digestive function and encouraging natural chewing behaviour. It can be fed alongside an appropriately balanced concentrate or complementary feed according to the individual horse's nutritional requirements.

Because the nutritional value of forage can vary according to growing conditions, maturity at harvest and individual batches, Teff should be selected and fed according to the needs of the individual horse rather than assuming a fixed nutritional profile.

Available from Whinny & Woof in Hout Bay, with delivery available across Cape Town.

Feeding Guide

Teff should be fed as part of an overall feeding programme that provides sufficient forage and meets the individual horse's requirements.

The appropriate amount depends on factors including the horse's:

• Bodyweight.
• Workload.
• Body condition.
• Access to grazing.
• Other forage sources.
• Concentrate feed.
• Individual nutritional requirements.

Make dietary changes gradually and ensure fresh, clean drinking water is available at all times.

For horses with specific metabolic, digestive or nutritional requirements, consult your veterinarian or equine nutritionist before making significant changes to the forage portion of the diet.

FAQs

What is Teff used for in horse feeding?
Teff is used as a forage or roughage source, providing long-stem fibre as part of the horse's overall diet.

How much is in each bag?
Each large bag contains approximately 9kg of Teff.

Can Teff replace other forage?
That depends on the horse's complete diet and nutritional requirements. Any major change in forage should be made gradually and considered alongside grazing, other roughage and concentrate feeds.

Is Teff low in sugar?
Teff is often selected by horse owners looking for alternative forage options, but the sugar content of individual forage batches can vary. We would not describe this particular Teff as low-sugar without a current nutritional analysis confirming it.

Is Teff suitable for overweight or metabolic horses?
Suitability should be based on the nutritional analysis of the particular forage and the horse's individual requirements. For horses requiring controlled sugar or energy intake, consult your veterinarian or equine nutritionist.

How should Teff be stored?
Keep the bagged forage in a dry, well-ventilated area, protected from rain and moisture.

Do you deliver Teff?
Yes. Due to the bulky nature of forage products, this product is intended for Cape Town customers and local delivery, rather than national shipping.
