CASH ON COLLECTION ONLY PLEASE The main benefit of haylage over hay is that it is baled and wrapped damp, so it does not contain the dust and mould spores that UK made hay will inevitably contain. Horses are very susceptible to respiratory challenges and should not be exposed to hay dust and mould spores, especially whilst stabled. Haylage is lower in sugar and fructan (water soluble carbohydrates) compared to well-made hay due to the natural fermentation process that takes place after wrapping. Microbes naturally present in grass break down the water soluble carbohydrates, converting them into volatile fatty acids (VFA). It’s the VFA that give haylage its characteristic sweet aroma and good palatability. Ensure you feed an appropriate amount to maintain a healthy bodyweight, do not add compound feed unless the horse or pony is losing weight on ad lib haylage, and balance with multi-vitamins and minerals
