5 Benefits of feeding long-stem hay
- Feeds the good bugs in the rumen – These microorganisms do the bulk of the work in the digestion process and they need to eat too!
- Increases enzymatic activity – This is critical for breakdown of starches and tough feeds.
- Increases Nutrient absorption – Keeping things fluid in the rumen is so critical for getting nutrition into the bloodstream where it can actually impact health.
- Balances pH in the Rumen – Ultimately creating the optimum digestive environment
- Helps prevent bloat – Acts as an anti-foaming agent
Another huge benefit of long-stem hay, and a much more visible and tangible benefit is how the animals intake and digest it. Feeding long-stem hay lengthens the whole digestion process allowing the good bugs to capture more nutrition from it before it goes out the back end.

“Everything we got from Hustler is well built and simple and we won’t have to replace it for a very long time”
“After running the Hustler for a few months, we decided to go ahead and purchase two more”
“It’s never broken down, side bars are very useful as you can see where it is when going through gates as well as keeping mis-shapen bales in the chamber on the steep country we operate on”
