With this hay, JR Farm makes its contribution to an intact insect world because these meadows are not mown before 15 June. Until then, the colourful wild flowers, grasses and herbs remain in full bloom and the insects and bees can help themselves to this fragrant natural buffet. Only then is this natural meadow hay harvested, which is particularly rich in crude fibre and contains many herbs due to the long growing season.
Hay consists of dried grasses and herbs harvested from meadows.
It serves as staple food for pure herbivores and should always be available.
Hay is not only important for herbivores, seed-eaters also need it, especially to promote natural tooth abrasion.
Due to the lower energy content of hay and green fodder compared to seeds, for example, herbivorous animals need to consume larger quantities to fulfil their energy requirements.
Straw is an agricultural by-product consisting mainly of the dry stalks of cereal crops such as wheat, barley, oats and rye after the grains have been harvested. Straw is used as bedding, but is also eaten by rodents.
When buying hay, it is important to pay attention to various factors to ensure quality. The hay should be well dried to avoid mould growth and have a fresh smell. A greenish colour is ideal, while a pale or yellow colour may indicate overstocking or poor harvesting conditions. Hay should be free of weeds, thorns, and other foreign matter to prevent damage to rodents. It is also significant that the hay is as dust-free as possible, as dust can cause respiratory problems in the animals. A good mixture of leaves and stems is a prerequisite for a balanced diet.
