Generally, Devon Haylage should be fed to replace hay by weight in the horses diet. However, hard feed quantities may be reduced to take account of the higher nutritional quality of Devon Haylage in comparison to hay. Feeding Devon Haylage to many horses and ponies along with an adequate vitamin and mineral supplement can virtually eliminate the need for additional concentrate feeding. Adjust the quantity of Devon Haylage fed to take account of the quality of grazing and time turned out. If you have any questions regarding feeding Devon Haylage please feel free to contact us.
