Cubes are considered long stem fiber forage so they can be used to replace hay in a forage diet. For any animal that consumes forage, either fresh or in hay form, they can consume our cubes. For simplicity, 1 lb of cubes = 1 lb of hay or forage. If you make your own hay and are short 50% of your typical hay crop, our cubes could be the other 50%. If your pastures are dry, cubes can be your sole forage source. When out on the road cubes are a very convenient forage source. Cubes can be 1-100% of your animals’ forage source. Pellets on the other hand are used to supplement your forage. If your forage is lacking protein, our ALFATEC Dehydrated Alfalfa Pellets are high in protein and can help increase the amount of protein your animal is consuming. If your animal preforms better on timothy, we have our ALFATEC Timothy Grass Pellets to supplement your forage when needing access to high quality timothy.
