Il arrive qu'on ait besoin de hacher le foin ou la paille à inclure dans la ration, par exemple, pour une ration totale mélangée. Le foin haché donne un mélange plus uniforme et moins facile à trier. 1, record 1, French, - foin%20hach%C3%A9

Most naturally raised animals are fed 100 per cent grain or a mix of grain, hay and grass, but cows, of course, don’t naturally eat the most common food handed to them-corn pellets(especially the kind with additives). 2, record 2, English, - naturally%20raised%20animal

To be considered "natural" or "naturally raised," animals would not be able to receive vaccinations or medication, which would be difficult to accomplish as standard feed given usually contains vitamins, minerals, additives, medication and direct fed microbials. 3, record 2, English, - naturally%20raised%20animal

Pour qu'un animal soit jugé «naturel» ou «élevé naturellement», il ne doit pas pouvoir recevoir de vaccination ou de médicaments, ce qui est difficile à mettre en pratique, car les aliments standards destinés aux animaux contiennent habituellement des vitamines, des minéraux, des médicaments et des microbiens assimilés directement. 2, record 2, French, - animal%20%C3%A9lev%C3%A9%20naturellement

Timothy pellets can be used as a forage replacer or as a supplement to long-stemmed hay. Pelleted hay may be top dressed with oil to increase the fat content of the diet. It is also very useful as a medium for introduction of medications, vitamins, or supplements. Can easily be made into mash with addition of warm water for seniors or those with dentition or chewing problems. 2, record 3, English, - timothy%20pellets
