The successful installation of a full haylage and animal bedding system in Michigan USA marks a significant achievement in agricultural innovation and international trade.

Ken Mills Engineering Ltd., a company evidently at the forefront of this industry, has facilitated this process through meticulous planning and execution, ensuring the machinery’s optimal functionality upon delivery.
The transformation of large round or square bales of hay into compact, airtight 20kg/40lb bags represents a remarkable advancement in feed technology. This process not only caters to the needs of equestrian owners with limited numbers of horses but also maximizes profitability for producers. The adaptation of such a system, which has seen over a decade of success in the UK, to the USA market is indicative of the growing trend towards specialized and user-friendly agricultural products.
The economic viability of small bale haylage is evident in its widespread adoption by equestrian owners in the UK, where it has become a staple feed option. The product’s affordability, coupled with its health benefits over traditional hay, makes it an attractive choice for horse owners. The reduced dust content is particularly beneficial for horses suffering from conditions like COPD, and the lack of necessity for soaking the haylage translates to less labor-intensive feeding routines.
Moreover, the convenience of these small bags cannot be overstated. They are perfectly suited for individual horses and offer flexibility in feeding practices, as they can be used alongside traditional hay when only a select few in a herd require this specialized feed. The practicality of the bag’s size facilitates easy handling and storage, even in limited spaces, which is a crucial consideration for many equestrian facilities.
This successful international collaboration not only highlights the ingenuity of Ken Mills Engineering Ltd. but also underscores the importance of recognizing and adapting to market needs. The ability to process and package haylage & straw in a manner that enhances its accessibility and appeal is a testament to the company’s commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction. As the market for small bale haylage continues to flourish, it is clear that such advancements in agricultural technology play a pivotal role in shaping the future of animal husbandry and feed production. potential customers and stakeholders, offering a transparent look at the technology that could revolutionize their feeding practices and business models.
