Hayladge is a product of grass and, like silage, is a form of silage suitable for horses. Forage is somewhat similar to hay, but it is not nearly as dried (+/- four days). As a result, it contains more nutrients. This can be very beneficial for horses that are very hard to get fat or need extra energy. Hayladge is basically wet grass which is preserved by fermentation. Fermentation involves bacteria breaking down nutrients using oxygen. To prevent further spoilage, it is packed airtight. This gives a shelf life of 3 to 8 days after opening the pack.
