We are agricultural contractors covering Aylesbury who offer a range of agricultural work such as haylage and baling.
Haylage is a type of forage that is made from fermented wet green fodder, usually grass or legumes. It is often used as animal feed, as it is high in nutrients and easy to digest. Haylage is also less likely to cause digestive problems than other types of hay, as the fermentation process breaks down many of the indigestible plant fibres.
It’s also typically lower in dust and mould spores than hay, making it safer for animals with respiratory problems. Haylage should be fed in moderation, as it can cause weight gain if consumed in large quantities.
Benefits of Haylage?
Haylage has several advantages over other types of forage such as:
What is Baling?
Baling is the process of compressing hay or other forage into bales. Bales can be either small, square, or round, and are often wrapped in plastic or other materials to keep them from spoiling.
Balers come in a variety of sizes, depending on the type of forage being baled and the size of the operation. Hay balers are typically used on farms to produce feed for livestock, although they can also be used for recycling agricultural waste, such as straw.
How is it made?
Haylage is a type of forage that is made by fermenting plants. The fermentation process preserves the nutrients in the plants and makes them more easily digestible for animals.
Haylage can be made from a variety of different plant materials, including grasses, legumes, and cereals. The fermentation process makes the haylage more palatable for animals, and it also increases the feeds energy content.
