Haylage is a type of animal feed made from grass or legumes that are cut and fermented in a controlled environment. Unlike traditional hay, which is dried and stored, haylage retains more moisture, typically between 40% to 60%. This fermentation process helps preserve the nutrients and enhances the feed's palatability for livestock. Farmers often use haylage for feeding cattle, horses, and other grazing animals, especially during winter months when fresh forage is scarce. The fermentation process also reduces the risk of spoilage, making it a reliable source of nutrition. Proper storage in sealed bags or silos is essential to maintain its quality.
