Silage and haylage for horses

2018-12-01

Abstract excerpt

This review covers current understanding on the use of wrapped forages such as silage and haylage as forage sources in equine nutrition. Silage (dry‐matter content <500 g per kg) generally have higher concentration of lactic acid and other fermentation products and has a lower pH compared to haylage (dry‐matter content >500–840 g per kg), as the lack of water in haylage restricts fermentation. The differences in b...
