A large, high-fiber pellet designed to replace or supplement hay or forage. Providing consistent quality fiber from Sentinel Hay Stretcher helps to support digestive function and health, especially when hay or pasture is limited or poor quality. Hay Stretcher may be used to replace up to half the hay in the horse’s diet on a pound-for-pound basis. Hay Stretcher is not fortified with vitamins or trace minerals and should not be used to replace grain in a horse’s diet.
- High Fiber - Quality fiber sources help meet the fiber requirement of horses fed a limited amount of hay or pasture or those who cannot eat a sufficient amount of forage.
- Fixed Formula Nutrition - Nutritional content consistent with every bag, unlike the variability found in hay and pasture.
- Balanced Calcium & Phosphorus - A correct calcium-to-phosphorus ratio is critical for maintaining proper mineral absorption and metabolism.
- High Palatability - Horses eat it readily.
- Less Dust Than Hay - A pelleted fiber source helps to reduce dust and mold exposure.
- Large Pelleted Form - A large pellet may slow consumption and support chewing and saliva production. The large form is easy to handle and helps prevent waste.
