Last time I bought hay I got a orchard grass mix that the buns loved. I went to get another bale today and they said the only grass hay they had was teff hay. Has anyone used this?
[font="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica"]Teff is an African import grain that can be cut early for a high protein forage that is well accepted by livestock. It is being used more and more around the country as a supplemental annual forage as it is easily overseeded and grows rapidly. The US reports I can find on the internet have been positive and a history of Teff usage says it has been used overseas for over 100 years as horse feed. I have not seen any work on sugar content but if grain is present on the stalks would expect it to be high.
