Coastal Bermuda hay is the most commonly fed hay in the southeast US. It is a basic grass hay with an average protein of 8% to 14% ( though it can fall above or below that level according to where it was grown and if it was fertilized.) It is a fine stemmed hay and can cause impactions if not fed with an adequate water source available. If a horse has never been fed Bermuda before it is best to introduce it in very small amounts and gradually work up to a full ration over a course of at least two weeks.
