Composition: Meadow hay is made from a mix of grasses and wildflowers found in natural meadows. It typically includes species like timothy, ryegrass, fescue, and clover.
Nutritional Value: It is highly nutritious, providing essential fibre, vitamins, and minerals. The nutritional content can vary depending on the specific grasses and plants included, but it generally supports good digestive health and overall well-being.
Harvesting: The hay is usually harvested in late spring to early summer when the grasses are at their peak nutritional value. The process involves cutting, drying, and baling the hay to preserve its quality.
Moisture Content: Properly baled meadow hay should have a moisture content of around 16%. It’s important to check for mould, dark coloration, or a musty odour before purchasing, as these can indicate poor quality.
Uses: Meadow hay is commonly used for feeding horses, cattle, and other livestock. It can also be used for bedding and erosion control.
