Katambora / Rhodes Hay Bales

Product: Katambora Hay
Weight: Approximately 15 kg per bale

Description:
Katambora hay is a premium, leafy, and fine-stemmed grass hay, well-suited for a variety of livestock, especially horses. It is known for its dense growth and rapid establishment, making it a reliable choice for consistent hay production. Katambora is highly valued for its drought, frost, and salt tolerance, and remains productive into autumn, even on soils with lower fertility.

Key Features:

– Fine-leafed, soft texture, and highly palatable.
– High calcium and low oxalate content, supporting optimal nutrient absorption in livestock, particularly horses.

Nutritional Value:

– Crude protein: Typical hay is often harvested at 7–9% crude protein when cut at the right stage.
– Digestibility: In vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) varies from 40% to 80%, depending on maturity and management.
– Other minerals: High in calcium, low in oxalate, making it especially suitable for horses.

Usage:
Ideal for feeding horses, cattle, and other livestock. Katambora hay is best used when cut at or just before early flowering to maximize nutritional value and palatability.
