What are your thoughts on feeding haylage to a previously (9 years ago) laminitic please? I've read recently that haylage is lower in sugar than hay, although higher in nutrients, because the sugar turns to lactic acid in the gut. In an old blog from Nic at Rockley Farm (hoof rehabilitation) she says that she feeds haylage all the time.
Basically, haylage is a lot cheaper for me than hay. However, because I know that laminitis starts in the gut and don't fully understand about lactic acid, I'm worrying about the effect of it on the gut from feeding two haynets a day. Am I worrying unnecessarily?
