Wow. The way that haylage is processed and packaged makes it sound like it is just asking for problems, like botulism, mold, rotting, etc. Sounds like bad stuff that shouldn’t have been fed in the first place.
Sad news, but it is a warning to be cautious.

It suprises me that a farm of that size,with the experienced buyers, sellers on staff would feed haylage to begin with. It is just frustrating to me to think that those horses died unnecessarily.
