Mass and volume are related to the sinking and floating of an object through their density. An object will sink if its density is greater than the density of the fluid it is placed in, and will float if its density is less than the density of the fluid. The relationship can be expressed as density = mass/volume.
Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume of a substance, while relative density compares the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance (usually water). Relative density is dimensionless and is often used to identify substances or determine their purity based on their comparison to a standard substance.
The relative density of an object is determined by comparing its density to the density of water. It is calculated by dividing the density of the object by the density of water. If the relative density is less than 1, the object will float in water; if it is greater than 1, it will sink.
An object will float in a fluid if its density is less than the fluid's density. If the object's density is greater than the fluid's density, the object will sink. If the object's density is equal to the fluid's density, it will be suspended at a specific depth.
If the density of a substance is greater than the density of water, it will sink in water. If the density of a substance is less than the density of water, it will float on water.
Haylage can certainly be, yes, and often is.
Forage (silage or haylage).
Haylage?
Well that would greatly depend on the level of work the pony was doing. If it was in strenuous work then feeding both Hard feeds and Haylage might be useful. However if the pony is in anything less that highly strenuous work Haylage would likely be able to supply enough nutrients and energy to keep the pony healthy.
Chaff, conditioning mix and hay/haylage.
Yes, many people feed their sheep haylage. Silage can carry listeriosis so it is recommended that you feed only good quality haylage or hay. If using haylage it should be fed as fresh as possible, don't just crack open a round bale and leave it out for a month, it'll quite likely go bad and it's not good for your sheep if it gets moldy. The best thing to do is to find the best quality you can in bales of a good practical size for your needs, that's why so many people still use square bales, because they're easier to handle.
It depends on the horse. Ask your vet to see what's right for your horse(s).
NEVER feed mouldy hay to horses( or mouldy pellets, grains or chaff) Horses will usually tell you if the hay is mouldy(unless they are very hungry) but not wanting to eat it. Dont confuse mouldy hay with silage or haylage, but be verycareful feeding silage and haylage to horses.

No, dusty hay is very bad for horses to eat, it can lead to respiratory illnesses and even to colic which can be life threatening. The same applies to mold in hay. If the hay you have is a little dusty you can try soaking it for ten to twenty minutes right before feeding.
for a 16hh horse there total daily intake is 30lbs, if the horse is in light work there diet is 20%concentrates and 80%bulk
DENSITY : density is the ratio of mass and volume of the substance density=mass/volume RELATIVE DENSITY : It is the ratio of density of a substance to the density of water
