I know and you might understand as well that hay is “a good food” for different type of livestock.
The livestock which eat hay in the winter or during long drought may include like:
- cows
- horses
- and sheep
Hay for food has two types: lighter and heavier, but both fairly cheap in respect for price.
The heavier ones contain higher protein. It is said that “alfalfa hay” may contain protein up to 21%, higher compared to grass hay.
The grass hay may contain protein about 10% only, or even less than 10%, depend on many factors.
In addition to nutritious value, people look for dryness of hay. We might wonder: Why?
It is because dryness relates to quality, since wet hay means easy to be destroyed or rotten by mold.
To be easy to be dried and stored, many people choose round than square bales. Round bales also easier to wrap with plastic.
