The average 16hh horse weighs approximately 500kg.
If this horse is in medium work then it will need 2% of its weight in feed per day, and of this, 70% should be forage.
| 2% of 500kg |
= 10kg feed per day |
| 70% of 10kg of feed should be forage |
= 7kg haylage per day |
One of the new bags of Gelston Haylage, which weigh approx 20kgs, will feed an average horse for up to 3 days.
