Farm made hayledge ???

[runaway]

Hi guys can you help? I have a query about hayledge that's been made on a local farm they usually make it for cattle. It has been "made" and wrapped.

My query is this, how long should you leave freshly baled hayledge before you can feed it to horses? (it was baled quite dry but not hay dry and it's not sileage)

Thank you in anticipation for your help

6 weeks apparently, have not fed it that soon myself but seeing as it is dryer than normal I would be prepared to try it at 6 weeks - gradually!

We ordered some from a supplier his haylage is checked by a local vet practice and they both advise 6 weeks.
