Haylage is a forage made for horses from grass that's cut earlier than hay, turned until the correct dry matter is achieved and then sealed in plastic.

A natural fermentation process takes place, which preserves the grass and its nutrients and results in a dust-free forage that's low in mould spores and highly palatable.

Horses have a psychological and physiological need for adequate dietary fibre, which is best supplied by forage.

Our products are hygienically and nutritionally superior to hay and contain excellent fibre levels. Thus they can be fed in sufficient amounts to fulfil the horse's natural need to chew and physiological need for fibre.

EH Haylage's superior nutritional content provide healthier, higher forage, and a lower concentrate diet which saves on the cost of concentrate feed.

No, you need to feed more kilos of any haylage than hay in order to supply your horse with similar quantities of dry matter and fibre. 

Haylage contains a greater concentration of water than hay, at about 35% versus 15%. A net of 5kg(11lb) of haylage contains about 3.25kg of actual haylage and 1.75kg water whereas a 5kg net of hay contains about 4.25kg of actual hay and 0.75kg water.Underfeeding haylage can cause a fibre deficiency.

Ideally, haylage should be fed ad-lib but, if your horse gains weight when fed this way, please ask for EH Hi-Fibre Haylage next time.

Absolutely not and there are two main reasons why...

Firstly, haylage is made from wilted rather than dried grass, so along with higher water content, there is less nutrient loss before baling, therefore resulting in a nutritionally superior product.

Additionally, the horse's natural diet is high in water - fresh grass can be as high as 80% water so a wetter forage is more natural.

If possible, you should feed forage ad-lib so you will therefore need to feed enough haylage so that there is a little left the next morning. 

If you are worried that so much forage will cause weight gain, choose our Hi-Fibre Haylage, which is higher in fibre and lower in energy and protein than our original product. 

As a guide, a 15.2hh 500kg horse stabled for 12 hours overnight would usually eat between 7.5 and 9kg of our Original haylage, and between 7 and 8.5kg Hi-Fibre Haylage.

Yes, you do! Mice will chew holes in the haylage bags, which breaks the airtight seal and spoils the haylage. Take care not to puncture the bags or allow mice near them. You will need to get rid of the mice as soon as possible to avoid further problems.

As a guide, haylage keeps for up to 7 days after opening. In hot weather, it is best to finish the bag within 4 to 5 days, but in winter it will keep for longer. 

The bales of EH Haylage are smaller than many haylages so are more suitable for single horse owners.

EH Haylage has been developed over many years, specifically for horses by a team of specialists.
