Typical Analysis

All of the Burlybale range is home produced to ensure good palatability. The bales come with no string and cut into sections for easy feeding. They are packaged for ultimate freshness and are suitable for horses with dust allergies or respiratory problems. Our compact bales are easy to store and handle with packaging that is 100% recyclable.

The importance of fibre

We know that good quality forage is a key part of a horses diet. Forage (fibre) such as grass, hay or haylage should form the basis of any horses diet. Horses and their digestive systems have evolved to spend around 18 hours a day grazing with limited, short periods of fasting. These extended periods of grazing and chewing of long stemmed forage promotes saliva production. This acts as a buffer to excessive gastric acid and takes longer than a concentrate feed to transit the digestive system. Aiding proper digestion, fermentation and taking on vital nutrients. This in turn supports a healthy gut and so a healthy horse.

About Burlybed – Burlybale

Since 2009 we have been producing Burlybed bedding products and for sometime now the Burlybed team have wanted to provide our customers with the ultimate bedding and forage solution. Now we are able to.

We have sown specifically selected varieties of grass leys to ensure the best quality forage before processing and packaging the product here on our farm in North Cornwall. We are in control of the whole process from seed to stockist to stable.
