EuroBale Haylage for Optimum
Growth & Development
Developing a feed program for the Stud to help
ensure healthy, fit brood mares and well grown but not
overtopped young stock with good bone involves combining good
pasture, excellent preserved grass for the winter months and a
balanced concentrate feed to complement forage.
EuroBale is used by an increasing number of
top studs as their preferred source of preserved grass for
several key reasons:
- Haylage is a high dry matter, mildly
fermented forage with consistent, confirmed nutrient
analysis, determined before purchase to ensure protein,
energy, fibre and minerals are at levels to complement to
rest of the feeding regime
- Haylage has high levels of retained
vitamins(unlike hay where vitamin levels deteriorate during
storage), which are of great benefit to early foaling mares
when the weather may prevent access to fresh pasture.
- EuroBale's controlled fermentation
results in a natural inhibition of the moulds and spores
widely found in hay. These very low spore counts are vital
in managing mares with COPD and help reduce the likely hood
of young animals developing allergic respiratory syndrom.
- Haylage is digestible and palatable,
making it suitable for foals, weanlings and yearlings, as
well as brood mares.
- Haylage is an excellent source of
digestible fibre to provide condition for yearlings during
sales preparation, when feeding high levels of cereals.
Advice and backup is available from
experienced staff and nutritionists to help with specific
feeding queries.
