Regarding haylage (that's what we call it here in western Washington). Since it is a form of silage, and the plastic bags are rather easily damaged in handling, we consider it food only for ruminants - cows, llamas, yaks, etc. I don't know of anyone out here who uses the haylage bales to feed horses. However, some people do make up their hay in those big round bales, after it has cured properly, and use them to feed horses in the field. I don't see how wet, somewhat moldy, hay can be palatable to horses (yes, it will be wet considering how much it RAINS here), but I guess if that is all they have to eat they will eat it. Don't see how it could possibly be good for them. Maybe what they call "canned grass" in Sweden is put up differently than our haylage. Annelli, can you tell us how the grass is cured before it is put in the bags?
