Grown, harvested, and precision-processed by Fearns Farm UK, this double-screened, short-chopped meadow hay offers an exceptional dual-purpose solution—serving as a high-quality bucket chaff\/forage replacer or a warm, ultra-clean bedding layer for small animals and horses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStandard long-stem hay can harbour dust particles and mould spores that aggravate sensitive equine airways. Fearns solves this by taking pristine meadow hay and putting it through a rigorous chopping and dust-extraction process. The result is a soft, uniform chop that is gentle on teeth, highly digestible, and completely free from flying dust. Whether used to add crucial chew-time to bucket feeds, soaked for senior horses with worn teeth, or used as deep, comfortable bedding, Fearns Premium Chopped Hay delivers consistent British farm quality in every bale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e🌾 Why Choose Fearns Premium Chopped Hay?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e🫁 Rigorously Dust-Extracted:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double-screened during the chopping process to remove fine particles, protecting respiratory health in stabled horses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e🐴 Short, Soft Precision Chop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy to chew and digest, making it ideal for veterans with dental issues, horses prone to choke, or youngstock.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e🥣 Dual-Purpose Feed \u0026amp; Bedding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Works brilliantly mixed into bucket feeds to extend chewing time, or as a cozy, absorbent bedding option.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e🌾 100% Natural British Meadow Grass:\u003c\/strong\u003e Free from artificial dust suppressants, chemical additives, or heavy molasses coatings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e📦 Neat, Easy-to-Store Bales:\u003c\/strong\u003e Efficiently baled and wrapped to save valuable feed room space while keeping the contents clean and dry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e📊 Technical Profile \u0026amp; Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDust-Extracted, Short-Chopped Meadow Hay\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSource \/ Brand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFearns Farm UK\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHorses, ponies, donkeys, rabbits, guinea pigs, and smallholders\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Uses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eChaff replacement, bucket feed extender, forage alternative, warm bedding\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTexture\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSoft, short-stemmed, dust-free chop\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e📋 Feed \u0026amp; Bedding Management Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended Uses \u0026amp; Baseline Rates:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBucket Feed Extender (Chaff):\u003c\/strong\u003e Mix 1 to 2 handfuls directly into your horse’s daily hard feed or mash to slow down greedy eating and encourage healthy saliva production.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePartial Hay Replacer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Feed alongside standard long-stem forage to boost overall fibre intake for horses on restricted turnout or dusty yards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall Animal Bedding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Layer generously in hutch or bed areas to provide clean, warm, highly absorbent bedding that double-functions as safe grazing forage for rabbits and guinea pigs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eManagement \u0026amp; Handling Guidelines:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDampening for Extra Moisture:\u003c\/strong\u003e While already dust-extracted, moistening the chopped hay with a little water or adding it to a wet mash creates an incredibly soft, appetising mix for senior horses with poor teeth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDry Storage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Store bales off concrete floors on wooden pallets in a cool, dry feed room protected from rain and vermin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e⭐ Top Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eFor greedy horses that bolt their hard feed in minutes, adding a generous layer of Fearns Premium Chopped Hay forces them to chew thoroughly, buffering stomach acid and helping reduce the risk of choke or gastric ulcers!\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Fearns","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58712443191641,"sku":null,"price":9.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/2314\/0953\/files\/fearns-premium-chopped-hay-p520-104926_medium_591819ec-7dd7-4462-a236-69c702efc37c.jpg?v=1785233966","url":"https:\/\/www.ag-equestrian.co.uk\/products\/fearns-premium-chopped-hay","provider":"AG Equestrian","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
