Haylage is a semi wilted mildly fermented forage. The process involved, results in better bioavailability and utilisation of energy and protein as well as the respiratory benefits associated with feeding a forage with a negligible spore count.
A EuroBale is in size terms:- 1.5 feet (45cm) high
- 2 feet (60cm) wide
- 4 feet (120cm) long
There are 8 bales to a pallet and approximately 6 bales to the tonne
Each bale is individually wrapped and then the whole pallet is capped and wrapped again which means the whole delivery can be stored outside in all weathers thereby freeing up indoor storage.
There are five main types of EuroBale:
- GOLD is made from first cut, first year seeds rye grasses
- SILVER is made from first cut but usually from grasses in their second or third harvest year
- TIMOTHY is a traditional long coarse grass, known for its palatability and distinctive 'nose'
- COUNTRY MIX is a mixture of Rye grass and Timothy. It is a very palatable coarse mix that is favoured by some studs and trainers
- Rye is the more economically priced eurobale and is particularly suitable for riding schools, livery yards and light competition yards
