Observations re Feed

Haylage

Good haylage can reduce your hard feed requirements. Rich haylage though can also be blamed, on occasion for causing colic.

We use haylage all year round both rich and dry. By rich I would say, very sweet and baled reasonably wet, it is can be excellent on some horses particularly youngstock or Broodmares whose nutritional requirements are high. A dryer haylage or hay is better fed in the stable. Competition horses when in full work will benefit from high value haylage. Over feeding can lead to handling problems if the horse is not in full excercise and work.

An observation re Haylage to try to keep to the same batch or to bales from the same field made at the same time. If you change to a new batch check the scent and richness of the bale, by all accounts they could be of equal quality but the change can effect a horse profoundly and I would add a plain dry, fibre high, hay to the diet whilst transferring from one to another. This reduces the opportunity for colic to occur.
