Bermuda Pellets
100% sun-cured Bermuda grass in a clean, highly digestible pellet. Energy and protein without an overload, and one of the lowest NSC pellets in our lineup.
As sampled, from the bag.
Why horse owners choose it
A lighter grass forage, with nothing added
Low sugar and starch
At 4.9% NSC as sampled, Bermuda is one of our lowest pellets in sugar and starch.
Energy without excess protein
A great source of energy, protein, and vitamins A and D, with a better calcium-to-phosphorus balance than straight alfalfa.
Replaces loose hay
Pellets can completely replace loose hay or supplement pasture, for horses, cattle, sheep, goats, and rabbits. Approved for state and federal lands (U.S. Forest Service certified, claim #04-00-058).

Feeding guide
Bermuda pellets can completely replace the forage in your horse’s diet. Feed 1.5% to 2% of body weight in total feed per day.
Example: a 1,000 lb horse needs 15–20 lb of total feed a day, about 3 lb of supplemental feed plus 12–17 lb of Bermuda pellets. Adjust to your horse’s condition, and always provide fresh water.
