Mixing chopped hay with grain and supplements encourages your horse to chew more naturally so more saliva is generated and more nutrients can be absorbed as the feed passes through your horse's system.

The benefit of slower, more deliberate chewing is that more saliva is generated… therefore more nutrients can be absorbed as the feed passes through your horse’s system.

When using Lucerne Farms Forage Products as a piece of your horse’s diet, you can be assured that each bag has identical nutritional properties. This consistent feeding program helps your horse to flourish with the guaranteed nutritional values.

Ideally, with your horse eating several small meals a day, you will be able to cut back on your horse’s grain consumption and maybe even diminish the amount of the supplements that your horse needs.

More than Hay in a Bag for Horses

Lucerne Farms grow and process quality forage products including alfalfa, timothy, and oat hay. Al products are high temperature dried and are blended with a low sugar molasses. The virtually dust free forage has great potential for improving your horse’s health. 

Their harvesting method guarantees the consistent nutrition, a significant advantage when planning a feeding program. High temperature drying effectively “locks in” the natural nutrition, while destroying harmful mold spores that cause respiratory 

Lucerne Farms, located in Northern Maine, is a family farm that carefully controls every step of its forage feed production. When you call Lucerne Farms, you speak with the people who actually grow the forage as well as process this naturally good feed for your horse. Call 1-800-723-4923 for more information.
