Standlee Premium Products creates compressed bales of forage from a large 4’x4’x8’ bale that is put through a press, sliced horizontally, pushed onto a scale, weighed, compressed and then banded. Alfalfa forage is low in sugar, moderately high in protein, high in calories and digestible fiber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFEEDING TIPS:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeigh the amount of forage provided to each horse to ensure you are feeding the proper amount.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is especially important with baled and compressed forage since similar volumes of forage (a flake for example) vary in weight.\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut the bands on compressed bales 8 to 10 hours before feeding to allow the bale to expand to avoid overfeeding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGradually replace existing hay with Standlee forage over a 7-10 day period.
