Annandale® OATEN Hay Chaff

A fragrant mono-species chaff produced from dedicated single-cut oaten crops cut before grain-fill occurs, providing a natural balance feed option.
Annandale ® Oaten Hay Chaff is a versatile and nutritionally balanced option for all horses and ponies. It offers the benefits of fibre, along with good protein levels, and is packed with essential nutrients. This green, clean chaff is a great option to replace grain-based diets in most horses and ponies.
A premium chaff made from whole crop oaten hay, harnessing the goodness of the entire plant
Oat Chaff has been the mainstay in the feed sheds of horse owners for centuries. Whether made from oat straw, whole-crop oats, or some combination of straw and harvested grain, oat chaff has offered horses in work with a good source of energy and protein, as a grain feedstuff.
We’ve harnessed all that’s good in the oat plant by chaffing oat hay, rather than straw. Our Oaten Hay is cut from the whole oat plant before it reaches full maturity. Harvesting the crop before the seed fully develops creates a grain fee forage with an exceptional balance of fibre and protein without the starch content of grain.
Annandale ® Oaten Hay Chaff offers an excellent substitute for a typical grain filled oat chaff, offering all the great benefits of high protein and energy, without some of the metabolic complications associated with high grain diets.
