Having thought about our overall aims and in the knowledge that control of grass length alone may not be enough, what are our options? This week we shall be going through some of our restricted grazing options in more detail #equinenutritionmatters #foragefirst #lamiaware

One of the factors we can attempt to manage when restricting grazing is grass length but what is best when trying to limit both overall quantity and sugars? #foragefirst #equinenutritionmatters #lamiaware

Before we look more into grazing restriction options it is key to bear in mind what our aims are for those that are often on restricted grazing such as the laminitic #foragefirst #equinenutritionmatters #lamiawareness
