Fast Fibre tackles hay shortages head on
Friday 20 August 2010
Recent reports have highlighted a potential problem that could surface this winter: a serious shortage of hay. Hay prices have already risen this summer, putting an extra strain on finances, however, don’t despair, Allen & Page Fast Fibre makes an ideal alternative – and is cost effective too!
Forage is already in short supply and with the current drought, the situation is likely to worsen. Recent media coverage indicated that hay and straw merchants are warning that this winter could be the leanest in 25 years and supplies of 2009's hay have all but sold out. Prices for this year's first cut are already around £3.50 (for a small bale), and could double over the winter with farmers predicting poor yields due to drought. Worries about lack of hay provisions this winter are very real and with a long winter just around the corner, horse owners will have to plan realistic ways to source fibre.
Allen & Page Fast Fibre may be your saviour! A high fibre, low sugar and low starch feed, Fast Fibre will help boost fibre intake and is fully balanced with essential vitamins and minerals necessary for optimum health, in a low calorie form. Not only is Fast Fibre nutritionally balanced and free from barley and molasses, it also contains digestive supporting ingredients.
Only taking between 30-60 seconds to soak, means it is quick and convenient and can always be fed fresh, so there is less likelihood of it spoiling. Alternatively, Fast Fibre may be fed as a partial or complete hay replacement and may even be fed to appetite. As always with Allen & Page, you can be confident of feeding a completely drug-free feed with non-GM ingredients and of excellent quality.
