Why Hay is Better Than Chaff?

Hay provides increased chewing time when compared to chaff (cut hay). Under natural conditions, horses spend most of their time grazing, hence chewing, which is important for their dental health and stimulates saliva production, in turn buffering the gastric acid produced. Providing stabled horses with hay is critical as lack of chewing can result in a number of disorders such as stereotypical behaviours, ulcers and colic.
