The Quality is Growing
Our Haylage is a mildly fermented grass where the fermentation process naturally inhibits fungal growth. This results in a negligible spore count or ‘dust’ thus contributing to a ‘clean’ environment for the Horse reducing the possibility of the allergic reactions that cause respiratory problems. Ideal feeds for breeding, racehorses, event horses and pony club horses
The mild fermentation ensures that the level of digestible fibre is considerably higher levels of energy. Hay is often ‘woody’ and can only supply roughage.

Delivery Haylage
Our haylage retains significant levels of vitamins and micronutrients found in fresh grass due to our unique packaging system. Poor packaging means that vitamin levels drop as the product is exposed to the air, in particular the ‘B’ group of vitamins important for feed utilisation, hoof condition and blood building.
Palatability
We have not yet found the horse that does not like our haylage! We have some that will even leave hard feed and carrots for their haylage net. It can safely be fed ad-lib if required.
Cuts
The first cut is higher fibre due to maturity at harvesting. This results in comparatively lower energy, but higher overall feed value due to the presence of seed heads. Resembles seed hay in appearance.
The second cut has higher levels of crude protein due to a shorter growing period resulting in a lower fibre, higher energy sample. Resembles meadow hay in appearance.
Use
Square bales are delivered to you and stacked in your yard. They can be stored outside. They are neat and tidy to use as the haylage comes off the bale in a tight ‘leaf’. Nets are easy to fill and there is absolutely no waste.
