Can you soak haylage?

[GlamourDol]

Probably a bit of a silly question but got a good doer who could do with slimming down a touch.

Is soaking his haylage an option or are we going to have to get hay?

Thanks in advance and sorry this post is rather short, typed two full length posts this morning for them not to show up.

Not recommended to, i would go for the hay Dont forget to check sugar/starch content of any feed you're giving too, lowest poss

I have used soaked haylage for years - home grown dryish haylage though, not sure whether it makes a difference.- as opposed to haylage which is more like silage.

I always thought not as can ferment.

However if it is very dry, like wrapped hay, you may get away with it as long as it is eaten immediately after a short soak.
