Suitable for all horses and ponies in work or needing extra weight gain or those who cannot handle full lucerne.
Premium Australian hay is coarsely chopped to maintain an ideal fibre length which is then compressed using high pressure and temperature to form our Hay Cubes. This unique process produces cubes that are highly palatable, easily digested, and free from any additives.
Hay Cubes are the ideal base for any feed ration.
Available in convenient 20kg bags from your nearest stockist. Bulka Bags available on request.
Introducing Hay Cubes
- Gradually introduce soaked Hay Cubes into your horse’s diet over a 14 day period.
- Soak the hay cubes (1:1 ratio) in cold (1 hour) or warm (30 mins) water until properly softened.
- After 14 days you can reduce the water gradually to feed the hay cubes dry, or if your horse prefers, they can continue to be fed soaked.
- Offering Hay Cubes in smaller pieces as a treat allows horses and ponies to readily accept the alternative form.
Feeding Recommendations
- Always feed by weight not volume.
- Horses require a minimum of 1.5% of body weight (kg) of forage per day.
- For example 4.5kg per day for a 300kg pony or 7.5kg for a 500kg horse.
- Forage requirements depend on pasture availability, horse’s weight, age, size, condition and work level.
- Fresh drinking water should always be available.
- Consult a qualified nutritionist to develop a complete feeding plan specifically for your horse.
Storage
Like all stockfeeds, Hay Cubes must be stored in a cool, dry well ventilated area out of direct sunlight and protected from vermin.
Feed Test Results
Hay Cubes are a natural, nutritionally consistent alternative source of forage.
Hay is coarsely chopped to maintain an ideal fibre length and then compressed into 32mm Hay Cubes.
Hay Cubes use the entire plant, ensuring no selective foraging occurs.
Hay Cubes take longer to chew, which increases saliva production for easier digestion.
Hay Cubes are easy to chew for horses with worn or damaged teeth.
Feed by weight not volume. The consistent weight of Hay Cubes allows for quick and easy feed preparation.
Minimal dust occurs in Hay Cubes which can assist horses with respiratory problems.
Don’t waste substantial amounts of hay or chaff in the elements.
