Product Overview
Equis® Teff Natural is a grass hay-based pelleted feed formulated for horses requiring controlled non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) and lower energy diets. Utilizing the unique traits of teff hay—a warm-season grass known for its low NSC and calorie content—this feed is ideal for horses at risk of laminitis, easy keepers with metabolic sensitivities, or those with allergies to common forages like timothy or alfalfa. Free from molasses and added fats, Equis Teff Natural can serve as a fiber supplement or a complete diet, depending on your horse's specific needs.
