Manuka Chaff and Haylage

🐴 Chewing = more than just eating!

Did you know that the more a horse chews, the more saliva they naturally produce?

Unlike us, horses produce saliva primarily when they chew. That saliva plays an important role in the digestive process — helping moisten feed for easier swallowing and providing natural bicarbonate that helps buffer stomach acid.

This is why providing plenty of quality forage and encouraging longer chewing time is so important for horses.

🌱 Where Manuka Haylage comes in…

Manuka Haylage provides long-stem, high-fibre forage that encourages horses to chew thoroughly, helping promote:

* Increased natural saliva production
* Healthy digestive function
* More time spent eating and foraging
* Valuable fibre for the hindgut
* A forage-based diet closer to the horse’s natural feeding behaviour

More chewing. More saliva. More quality forage. 💚

Support their digestive system the way nature intended with Manuka Haylage.

🌾 Flanno for a Farmer — supporting the people behind our paddocks.

Farming is more than a job. It’s early mornings, late nights, unpredictable seasons, financial pressure and the responsibility of caring for livestock, crops, businesses and families — often without ever really switching off.

Behind every paddock, every bale and every rural business are farmers and farming families who carry more than most people see.

This Flanno for a Farmer, Manuka is proud to stand behind our rural community and help shine a light on mental health in the bush.

Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is check in. Ask twice. Make the phone call. Have a cuppa. Listen without judgement. And remind someone that they don’t have to carry everything on their own.

To our farmers, their families and everyone who keeps rural Australia moving — we see you, we appreciate you, and you matter. 💚

Pull on your flanno and start a conversation. You never know how much it might mean to someone.

❄️ Frosty mornings call for quality forage. ❄️

When you see ice on your horse’s whiskers, you know winter has truly arrived.

As temperatures drop, your horse works harder to stay warm. Supplying consistent, high-quality forage helps generate natural body heat through digestion, supports gut health, maintains condition and keeps horses content throughout the colder months.

At Manuka, we grow and produce our forage with quality in mind, so you can feed with confidence all winter long.

🌾 Premium quality chaff
🌾 Lucerne Haylage
🌾 Grown, harvested and packed by our team

Because healthy horses start with quality forage.

From the first seed in the paddock to the final bale in your feed room, every step of our haylage journey is managed in-house. 🌱🚜

At Manuka Haylage, we grow our own crops, harvest them at the ideal stage, wrap every bale to lock in quality and nutrition, then bag them ready for your horses. 🐴

It’s complete quality control from start to finish—because we believe great feed starts long before it reaches your stable.
