Chaffhaye is made with alfalfa or grass that is carefully selected and harvested at peak leafiness to maximize nutrients, palatability and digestibility.  Within hours of harvest, while still fresh, the Chaffhaye alfalfa is chopped, lightly misted with molasses and compressed into air-tight bags.  The specially designed bag locks in the freshness and initiates nature's own fermentation process. The Chaffhaye bag acts as a natural fermentation vat, similar to the digestive process that occurs in the digestive tract of horses and livestock.  The process converts raw alfalfa into a "pre-digested" feed with live yeast and beneficial enzymes not normally found in dry hay or pellets.  Chaffhaye's abundant levels of beneficial bacteria unlock the nutrition in the forage by breaking it down into more readily digestible units.  The entire process facilitates greater digestion in the foregut of the animal where the bulk of proteins, fats, starches, vitamins and minerals are absorbed.  By improving the digestion in the foregut, and balancing the feed load across the entire digestive tract, the animal is able to absorb more energy, vitamins and minerals from Chaffhaye. 

Most animal feeds go through a drying process that removes most of the naturally occurring plant juices from the forage.  This essentially drains life from the feed.  Chaffhaye is processed to retain its natural plant juices, preserving the natural probiotics of the feed.  By retaining its plant juices, Chaffhaye becomes the closest product you can buy to natural pasture. Hence, we call it "Premium Pasture-in-a-Bag".

Some other advantages of Chaffhaye include:

Easy Storage - A ton of Chaffhaye occupies only 1/3 the space of baled alfalfa. Sealed bags allow storage indoor or outdoors, with no loss of quality. Unique packaging eliminates mess or leaf loss normally associated with moving baled hay.

Easy to Transport - Its compact form and high nutrition density is easier and cheaper to transport.  Ideal for travelers.

Free, Free, Free, Free - Chaffhaye is dust free, mold free, blister-beetle free and weed seed free. Being dust and mold free as a naturally moist feed, Chaffhaye is used to minimize the respiratory ailments of animals sensitive to dust or mold spores.  Additionally, the fermentation process permanently blocks the germination of seed that may be in the forage, making it ideal for national parks or environments where foreign seeds are controlled.

Less Waste - Animals normally eat 100% of Chaffhaye fed. As a "pre-digested" forage, animals can assimilate (or absorb) more of its energy and vital nutrients.  Animals on Chaffhaye produce up to 50% less manure, reducing fly populations and barnyard cleanup time.  Chaffhaye has a two-year shelf life with no loss of nutritional value.

Reduces "HayBelly" - Animals have less intestinal fill because less Chaffhaye is required to achieve nutritional needs.  Within ten days of feeding, the stomach will begin to tuck in.  This makes Chaffhaye the ideal feed for saddled and show animals.

Cost Effective - Chaffhaye is cost effective due to a combination of factors including: Superior nutrition as a premium rated forage; Reduced transportation and storage costs; Long-shelf life due to weather-proof, airtight packaging; High palatability that reduces waste during feeding; Up to 50% less manure that reduces stall cleaning; Reduced vet bills from respiratory ailments caused by dust as well as reduced risk of colic as a pasture-like feed.  Nutritionally, one bag of Chaffhaye is equal to 1.5 bales of good quality hay.
