It is a variety of grass hay that is high in fibre and low in protein, sugar and calcium, which makes it ideal for your small pet's digestive system, teeth and overall health. This premium variety is abundant and native to most of Europe except the Mediterranean region. It belongs to the Phleum genus, grasses native to temperate regions that include about 15 species of annual and perennial grasses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTimothy Hay vs Teff Hay in South Africa\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are many varieties of hay. Hay for feeding small pets should contain approximately 7% protein and 30% fibre. Imported timothy hay is better quality than the Teff hay commonly available in South Africa. It has a higher fibre content, is more palatable, and its coarse texture is great for chewing and for maintaining healthy teeth. Teff hay, on the other hand, is a softer, finer, less fibrous type of hay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Gentle Indoor Machine Drying?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHay produced in South Africa is traditionally sun-dried.
