What is Timothy Hay?
Timothy hay is a dried version of timothy grass (P. Pratense), which is thought to have originated on the European continent. Early colonists to the New World brought grass seeds accidentally, inspiring significant wild growth of the grass in the US too. Many people who raise horses and timothy hay to be ideal as part of animal feed. It may be mixed with other ingredients, especially alfalfa . It is especially noted for a relatively low protein content, low moisture (which can help keep the dried grass from rotting), and high fiber content. Many animal care experts recommend it for its seeming ease on various animals’ digestive systems and its promotion of bowel regularity.
