EH Haylage aims to provide high quality, consistent products, which offer good value for money and is provided with a personal service.

EH Haylages are made from specially selected ryegrass varieties packed in bags of approximately 20kg , based on the sesonal dry matter.

EH Haylage Original is harvested early in the grass life cycle to produce higher than average energy and protein levels, but still with adequate fibre for good health. This is the best choice for working horses, competition horses and ponies, youngstock and breeding stock, and is useful for those that need to gain condition e.g. poor do-ers.

EH Haylage Plus - a mineral and vitamin supplement specifically formulated to complement EH Haylages. It can be challenging to ensure your horse receives a balanced diet that supplies all the necessary micronutirients. All forages, even the best quality haylages, can be short of minerals. In addition, the process of preserving hay and haylage depletes some of the natural Vitamin E, and your horse may over or under supplement itself with minerals. Giving a concentrate compound feed may supply the necessary protein and calories, leading to unwanted weight gain.

These problems can be overcome by feeding EH Haylage Plus. Formulated by an independent Equine Nuturitionist EH Haylage Plus supplies the specific combination of micronutrients to balance a haylage diet. If your horse maintains its body weight and condition on haylage only, you should feed EH Haylage Plus to ensure the best balanced diet possible.
