100% premium Oat hay / Characteristics of Oat Hay: Rice plants may not be suitable when used as hay. For the
one that has passed the harvest period will become straw that is too old and give only the bark with excessive level
of indigestible fibers, such as lignin and cellulose. The old hays lack the digestible fibers that will be used for
fermentation as energy, thus the herbivore animals are weight under or emaciated. Moreover, the straw is too
alkaline, cause changes in acid-base levels in the digestive tract. However, it was found that oats were used as grass hay, which requires
good grass management. By selecting the appropriate cutting period, provides grass that is suitable for feeding animals during
childhood. That means the value of food must be excellent for growth.
The advantages of oat hay: is different from other grass, it provides energy from the milk phase of the rice. It is often mixed with alfalfa to increase protein levels in feedings for young animals and mothers, and also provides indigestible fibers higher than Timothy grass, because the cutting period of oat hay is older than Timothy. Thus it helps to stimulate defecation of hard feces. Additionally, the bark contains more silica, therefore it helps to wear out teeth.
Import from Australia: Oat grass from Australia is very popular, because it is serious about the cutting phase to get the highest value.
