Teff Grass Pellets give you a forage option for horses that need close attention to sugar and starch intake. Ground, sun-cured teff grass is pressed into dense quarter-inch pellets that you can weigh for each feeding.
The pellet form can help when a senior horse has dental trouble or a horse eats aggressively. Soaking softens the pellets and adds water to the ration. Use them as part of a forage program that includes some long-stem hay, and follow the feeding directions below when replacing existing forage.

Sun-Cured Teff Grass (Ground)
Forage is the most important component of a horse’s diet and should be fed at a rate of 1.5-2.5% of a horse’s body weight. Gradually replace existing hay with Standlee over a seven to fourteen (7-14) day period.
Horse Weight 1200 lbs × 2% Target Feeding Rate 0.02 = Forage Recommendation 24 lbs Per Day
| Animal | Target feeding rate (% of body weight to feed per day) | Feeding change timeframe (Duration to transition to feeding change) |
|---|---|---|
| Donkey | MAX 1.5% | 7-14 Days (Gradually replace existing hay) |
| Goat | MAX 4% | 7-14 Days (Gradually replace existing hay) |
| Llama | MAX 2% | 7-14 Days (Gradually replace existing hay) |
Animal Weight x Target Feeding Rate = Daily Forage Recommendation
For increased hydration, aggressive eaters, or horses with dental issues, pellets are recommended to be fed wet, soaked in water (2 parts water to 1 part pellets) for 30 min. or until properly softened.
Standlee recommends that pelleted forage is not the sole source of forage for horses since feeding some long-stem forage may help eliminate boredom and prevent stall vices. If you have questions, contact the nutritionists at Standlee or consult your veterinarian.
NEVER FEED MOLDY OR INSECT INFESTED FORAGE TO ANIMALS.
Forages can last for well over a year if stored properly. To maintain product quality and ensure safety, store product in a covered, cool, and well-ventilated environment out of the effects of the weather.
Forage is a natural agriculture product. Despite the use of modern processing equipment, it is not always possible to remove all foreign materials. Sort and remove any foreign materials prior to feeding.
DISCARD ANY SOILED OR WET FORAGE IMMEDIATELY.
