Product Description

Double Compressed Ryegrass Hay for Horses

Our sliced Ryegrass Hay is produced from high quality ryegrass and is a suitable forage choice for both leisure and competition horses. Our production process helps to ensure that this product is ‘clean’ and exceptionally palatable, tempting even the fussiest customers. 

 

Our Ryegrass Hay provides moderate levels of protein, fibre and energy (calories), making it ideal for supporting the needs of the working horse, while reducing reliance on the hard feed ration. If you are already feeding M&T forage, our Ryegrass would represent a step up from our Meadow Hay and would be broadly equivalent in calories (energy) to our Haylage Complete. With our Double Compressed bales being sliced, they also provide an easier way to feed your horses and ponies.

Ryegrass Hay Bale FAQs

Why Choose Ryegrass Hay Compressed Bales Over Bags?

+

At M&T, we offer our high-quality Ryegrass Hay in both small compressed bales and bags. If you’re travelling, our bagged Ryegrass Hay will likely be the more convenient option. However, for daily use at home, our Ryegrass hay bales are dense and compact, making them easy to store, move and feed. Please get in touch with our team to place an order. 

What Weight and Size are Your Compressed Ryegrass Hay Bales?

+

Each compressed Ryegrass Hay bale is produced to ensure a consistent weight and size, making them easy to store and feed. Typically, our double compressed Ryegrass Hay bales weigh approximately 20 kg, offering great value for money compared to bagged hay. 

How Does Ryegrass Hay Compare to Other Forage?

+

Ryegrass Hay provides moderate levels of protein and energy overall, although these levels are typically higher than those found in other types of forage, such as meadow and timothy hay. This makes it an ideal option for horses and ponies with higher nutritional requirements, such as those in moderate levels of work, competition horses or poor doers struggling to gain weight. It’s roughly comparable to haylage (particularly our Haylage Complete) in terms of calories and energy, making it an excellent haylage alternative for owners who prefer to feed hay.

Are Your Ryegrass Hay Bales Dust Extracted?

+

Yes, our compressed Ryegrass Hay bales have all been dust extracted for better palatability and cleanliness. This reduces the need to soak the hay to remove dust before feeding and means it is more suitable for horses or ponies with respiratory problems or allergies. M&T’s entire hay range is dust-extracted, so whether you opt for Meadow, Timothy or Ryegrass hay, you can be sure you’re choosing a high-quality, dust-extracted forage option.

How to Store Compressed Ryegrass Hay Bales?

+

Our compressed Ryegrass Hay bales should be stored in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and moisture, as excess damp can lead to mould growth and reduce the hay’s nutritional value.

Our Customer Reviews

  • Sandra, Malaysia

    “M&T Haylage is our reliable partner for the horse feed industry.We have enjoyed a long-standing partnership with M&T Haylage since 2019, and for good reason. Their commitment to producing high-quality haylage for horses is second to none. As a business that values the health and well-being of our equine customers, we rely on partners like M&T to provide a consistent and nutritious product. ”

  • Louise B

    “My horses love the Low Energy Haylage and it is going down well. The main reason I changed it was to stop my pony from coughing as she is very sensitive to any dust. She has stopped coughing now. Fabulous service by yourselves from initial contact to delivery and it is much appreciated!”

  • Leah C

    “Very happy to have found your Low Energy Haylage, after my horses and I developed a bad cough from really dusty hay from a different supplier. Your haylage is absolutely dust free, much easier to handle and there is zero waste. I wish I had changed a lot earlier as it’s the best forage I’ve ever used in 40 plus years with horses”

  • Kim C

    “High quality products, we have bought from M&T for a number of years. Good, friendly advice (we have an ex-race horse and a laminitis prone Cob). Highly recommend”

  • Andrea N

    “Everyone should shop from M&T, they are a lovely, helpful and professional company. Great products - my horses love their haylage. Whenever I order, they deliver fast and efficiently. Thank you to all, I would not go anywhere else!”

  • SS

    “My orders have always been delivered in a timely manner, sometimes surprisingly quick. They provide amazing hay: green, fresh and tastes delicious. Tasty Timothy is definitely my rabbits' favourite”
