| Cut feed costs by at least 50% with Hay Cubes Complete replacement for hay and chaff! One 30kg bag of dry Hay Cubes is equivalent to approx 4 Bales of Hay!! |
| GRAIN FREE! Nutritionally tested! Export Quality! |
Hay Cubes are a highly compressed cube comprising of a mixture of Hays.
| Aside from the financial savings, Hay Cubes offer a vast variety of benefits that traditional hay and chaff do not. These include: Storage Space One 30 kg bag of Hay Cubes requires less storage space than a bale of hay or bag of chaff. Hay Cubes are mess free and bagged for your convenience. Hay Cubes are also easy to carry around when travelling to shows and events. No Product Wastage Unlike hay, Hay Cubes are easily fed from a feeder, they don't blow around your paddocks in the wind, and they don’t end up trampled into the ground or used by your horse as a toilet. Dust Free Beneficial for horses prone to respiratory infections and allergies. Increased Hydration The water in hydrated Hay Cubes increases your horse's water intake, benefiting the kidneys and resulting in better hydration and digestion. Palatable Hay cubes are easily accepted into the diet as a replacement for hay and chaff. Older Horses who have minimal teeth and who aren't able to consume roughage in the traditional form of grass and hay benefit tremendously from the introduction of Hay Cubes into their diet. Grain Free Non-heating so ideal for fizzy/nervous horses. Also ideal for miniatures and ponies! Hay Cubes are suitable for horses and ponies of all ages, sizes and disciplines. |
| ADVANTAGES |
The compressing process dramatically reduces moisture content and weight therefore 1 bag of Hay Cubes dry is
equivalent to approx 4 Bales of hay and can be used as a complete replacement for Hay and Chaff.
Hay Cubes provide an exceptional source of roughage, are highly palatable and because you feed them soaked they
encourage better chewing and digestion of additional grains.

"Hay Cubes are Convenient to store and travel with, easy to feed, fantastic way of ensuring your horse is well hydrated with the moisture
content, all four horses love them, they lick their buckets clean. Haven't come across a horse that will not eat them.
Great value, one scoop dry makes approx 3 scoops wet.
Great to prepare in cold weather if you use hot water, nothing like sinking your freezing hands in a warm mushy feed.I have a pony in the
mid 20's who suffers from SPCOPD (asthma) and the cubes are the best thing for him to help him with his breathing as there is no
dust/mould spores to affect him.
I bought a pallet load and it lasted me throughout all winter, feeding 3 horses, I only had to buy speedibeet and pellets.
It saved me alot of money. I WILL be buying them again, they are very economical, no wastage, horses look great, and my hip pocket is
happy."
