Forages for HORSES WITH Metabolic Syndrome

Choosing hay for a horse with a sugar sensitivity can be difficult. At Jamback Farms, we have a variety of forages that are low in non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) with a full hay analysis.   

Here is a breakdown of our inventory that contains less than 10% NSC:

  • Local Orchardgrass

  • Orchardgrass/Alfalfa Mix

  • Prairie Grass Hay

  • Western 1st Cut Orchardgrass Hay

  • Volunteer Hay

All of these forages vary in protein and other nutrients but are a great place to start when looking for a safe low sugar hay that you can feel comfortable feeding your horse. If you’re needing to add more calories, our beet pulp pellets are also a great, low sugar option. Our educated experts are here to help you!
