Treated hay for horses
By JP Walton, Wallenstein Feed & Supply Ltd. Producing high quality hay can be incredibly difficult due to unpredictable Canadian weather. Often, baling small square bales at the appropriate moisture of 14-18% is not always possible. Unfortunately, hay baled greater than 18% moisture (82% DM) will likely heat during stor- age, leading to mould growth, decreased feed value, and palatability issues with livestock. Applying buffered propionic acids during baling is a safe and effective method to reduce mould growth and bale at moistures above 18% mois- ture. This leads to an increased baling window and higher quality hay. Square bales typically lose moisture during storage – applying a buffered acid has been shown to reduce the amount of dry matter loss and improve feed quali- ty.
Mouldy hay decreases the feed value, particu- larly nutrients and dry matter. Baling hay under 14% moisture leads to very dry hay, which causes increased leaf shatter and dry matter loss and ulti- mately; dusty hay. Therefore, baling at the desired moisture level is beneficial in preventing these losses. Mould tends to grow when there is sufficient oxygen and moisture in the mow, espe- cially as the hay heats during storage. Another concern to horse owners is that mouldy, dusty hay can cause respiratory issues in susceptible equids. Buffered propionic acid prod- ucts such as The Juice, reduce and inhibit mould growth during the cure down period. Buffered acids are applied directly onto the hay as its
baled. The Juice is a buffered organic acid, gener- ally applied at 2%. It is non corrosive on equip- ment and safe for horses, unlike its unbuffered predecessors.
The most popular question from horse owners is; “can treated hay be fed to horses”? Propionic acid is a natural product of microbial fermenta- tion of feedstuffs in the horse’s cecum and large intestine (colon). They are metabolized and absorbed into the bloodstream and used as an energy source. The large intestine produces con- siderable amounts of organic acids due to hind- gut fermentation, than would otherwise be ingest- ed from a properly treated hay product. Combine mould inhibition with the added fuel factor, buffered acids are both safe and effective for all livestock. Studies conducted at the Univer- sity of Illinois have shown no detrimental clinical effects on the well-being of horses consuming treated hay, and yearling gain was not affected. Applying a buffered acid product at the correct rate is crucial to a successful hay crop. Using a moisture tester is a great tool to determine the moisture content of hay and ensure uniform appli- cation. Windrows and high spots tend to increase hay moisture and require more buffered acid, making moisture monitoring very important. Relying on the average moisture will lead to inac- curate application rates, and poorer hay. Remember not to store treated and untreated hay beside or in contact with one another, as moisture will gravitate from the higher to lower moisture hay!
Secretariat’s Meadow
Though much has been written about Triple Crown legend, Secre- tariat, and a Disney movie about him will come out this fall, the com- plete story of Secretariat’s birth- place and the Chenery family who raised and raced him has never been told . . . until now. And a Chenery is telling it.
Secretariat’s Meadow - The Land, The Family, The Legend is the story of how author Kate Chen- ery Tweedy’s mother, Penny, and grandfather, Christopher T. Chen- ery, came to breed and race the horse many call the most perfect racehorse we will ever see. Three years in the making, this book, co-authored with Virginia writer Leeanne Meadows Ladin, tells not only Secretariat’s story but the saga of an endur- ing piece of land where an “empire built on broodmares” produced an immortal son. Secretariat’s Meadow will arrive in book- stores in September, just before the much-antici- pated release of the Disney movie “Secretariat” in theatres on October 8, 2010. The movie is based on Penny Chenery’s life story and on turf writer Bill Nack’s book Secretariat - The Making of a Champion. Penny Chenery wrote the foreword to Secre- tariat’s Meadow
recollections of The Meadow as a child, her access to family papers and her eyewitness account of the magic and the mayhem surround- ing her mother and “Big Red” during the Triple Crown races in 1973.

The narrative is enriched by Kate Tweedy’s vivid
