Hay analysis
"Do I need an analysis of my hay/haylage?"
Yes, to create a well-balanced feeding plan, you need an analysis of your forage.
A forage analysis provides essential information about the energy content, protein, fiber, and minerals in the forage, which is crucial for matching it to your horse’s specific needs. Without an analysis, it is difficult to determine whether the forage contains sufficient nutrients or if supplementation with concentrates or additional feed is necessary.
By adjusting the feeding plan according to the forage analysis and your horse’s unique requirements—such as age, workload, and any health conditions—you ensure that the horse receives all the nutrients it needs. This also helps prevent both overfeeding and underfeeding, which can negatively impact the horse’s weight, performance, and overall health.
Keep in mind that a well-balanced diet is not just about energy, proteinyou should also check that your horse is getting enough essential minerals like calcium, phosphorus and vitamins.
