I was looking at the website of Anderson Hay & Grain and they tout their Timothy Hay for having a low protein content.
Timothy hay is the most digestible of all hays and is one of the most popular hay feeds for horses. The hay is a late-maturing high fiber bunchgrass with a relatively low protein content. Horse owners have found that Timothy hay promotes a shiny coat, good digestion, bowel regularity, and a healthy weight. It is also excellent for colic prone, protein-sensitive, and obese horses.
While I understand the problem with obese horses, I was under the impression that when one purchased bales for their horses, they wanted high protein material.....more bang for the buck so to speak.
Someone please splain me this.
