Timothy

phleum pratense

Timothy (phleum pratense) is a perennial grass grown throughout the Northern region of the United States and Canada. It is high in fiber, and when cut late, can be attributed to improved milk production in dairy cattle. The racehorse industry relies heavily on timothy as a source of feed. Many animal care experts recommend it due to its seeming ease on various animals’ digestive systems and its promotion of bowel regularity.
