25. Farmer's Lung It is not the hay itself – and fresh hay will not cause disease, but rather the mold which grows in baled hay which causes Farmer’s Lung. What is the cure? http://www.lung.ca/diseases/farmers_lung.html

Did you know that there is a Lung Disease which affects primarily Farmers? It is actually called Farmer's Lung. The symptoms of this disease are severe and they can return over and over again until a person becomes too sick to work. What is Farmer's Lung? It is a disease that people working with moldy hay can get from breathing the millions of tiny mold spores shaken out of a bale of moldy hay. Over time, some people develop an allergic reaction to them. The symptoms are serious, and once the allergic reaction begins, the person will always have the potential for symptoms with hay mold exposure. What are the symptoms? After working with moldy hay for several months or years, depending on the individual, the worker may begin to notice the following symptoms 4-6 hours after being exposed to the hay mold spores: Increased coughing and bringing up more mucus than usual. Fever and sometimes chills. Shortness of breath. Discomfort in the lungs, a tightness and/or pains in the chest. Who can get Farmer's Lung? Anyone who is allergic to the hay mold spores and breathes air filled with hay mold spores.

G94-1198-A Switchgrass and Big Bluestem for Grazing and Hay The grazing management and cultural practices discussed in this NebGuide can make switchgrass and big bluestem high quality summer forage. Rob Mitchell, Research Assistant Lowell Moser, Professor of Agronomy Bruce Anderson, Extension Forage Specialist Steve Waller, Professor of Agronomy Previous Category Catalog Order Info Adaptation and Yield ... Prescribed Burning Switchgrass and big bluestem are native warm-season grasses that can provide abundant, high-quality forage during summer. Switchgrass and big bluestem produce 70 to 80 percent of their growth after June 1 in Nebraska, while more than 75 percent of cool-season grass growth, such as bromegrass and bluegrass, occurs before June 1. Therefore, switchgrass and big bluestem can provide forage to graze after cool-season pastures have been utilized. However, switchgrass and big bluestem must be managed differently than cool-season grasses. Poor management will cause productivity and stand persistence to decline, and forage quality will be poor. Proper grazing management and cultural practices will optimize production, maintain a healthy plant community, and provide adequate forage quality. Adaptation and Yield Switchgrass and big bluestem are adapted to most soils throughout the eastern half of Nebraska. Yields vary considerably among sites due to soil and precipitation differences. Both species can be grown in mixtures or monocultures, but switchgrass is grazed more efficiently in a monoculture than in a mixture.

View/Print PDF Vol 5: No. 14 Factors to Consider When Marketing Hay by Dan Undersander UW Extension Forage Agronomist, University of Wisconsin Topics: Introduction What are some guidelines when selling hay? Introduction Many hay growers simply sell hay. They are selling a commodity to low bidders rather than developing a market for a product. Bringing factors other than price into the market such as forage quality, consideration of customer needs, prompt delivery, steady supply, and appreciation of business can increase value and salability of product. If price is the only determining factor, someone is always waiting in the sidelines to undercut your price.

30. Horse Hay: Making Hay By Cherry Hill A nurse crop such as oats, will emerge ahead of the more vulnerable hay seedlings. Therefore, third cut hay will usually have the highest nutritive value. http://www.horsekeeping.com/horse_care/making_hay.htm

from Cherry Hill MAKING HAY © 1998 Cherry Hill www.horsekeeping.com For more information, see: Horsekeeping on a Small Acreage Horse Health Care When shown a bale of premium hay and one of poor quality, most horsemen would have little difficulty deciding which bale they would like to take home and feed to their horses. But since the average bale of hay has one or more defects and because the hay-buyer's budget enters into the picture, choosing hay, in actuality, is often not so easy. The many factors which should be considered when selecting hay all relate directly to the growing and harvesting of the hay. Understanding the hay-making process from the ground up can help you make wise decisions when it comes to buying your winter supply of hay. Making premium hay is both an art and a science. While much of the success of a hay field can be attributed to such technical factors as seed selection and fertilization, the critical moments of when to mow and bale require somewhat of a sixth sense. Luck, especially with the weather, also plays a large part in making good hay. The story of the hay in your horse's feeder may have started two to three years ago when a field was prepared and seeded. Often hay is used in rotation with other crops such as corn or barley. Such grains deplete the soil of its nitrogen and legume hays, such as alfalfa, add necessary nitrogen back to the soil. This rejuvenating effect, along with the fact that premium hay is a good cash crop, makes alfalfa a very popular hay with farmers.

Home Technical Stuff Diets Edibles ... About Hay Water Treats Pellets Pellet Brands ... Commercial Treats Hay What is hay? Hay is, very simply, dried plant material. There are two general classes of hay: grass and legume. Grass hay is made by drying any one of a number of grasses and is easily identified by its long thin leaves surrounding a central stalk. Legume or lucern hay is commonly made from alfalfa or clover. It looks more our leafed clover) than grass. Why feed hay to my rabbit? Hay is a good source of fiber, some minerals and some energy (calories). For house rabbits, hay is generally used as a low calorie source of fiber. Rabbits are grazers and browsers; in the wild they eat small meals throughout the day. Feeding hay allows a bunny to graze as she would in the wild without gaining weight as grazing on high calorie foods like pellets. The digestive tract of rabbits evolved to process large amounts of high fiber foods very quickly. Feeding too little high fiber food causes digestive (gastro-intestinal) tract problems. Many of these problems can be avoided or minimized by providing free choice grass hay. How do I store hay?

August 2002 How to Choose Hay to meet your Horse's Needs Choosing Hay It can be confusing when choosing hay for horses. You will find as many opinions on horse feed as you will horse owners. There are a few important points to consider when choosing hay. Clean Hay is the Best Hay Hay Variety There is no right or wrong hay to feed your horse ( Matching Hay to Your Horses Nutritional Needs Hay also provides one other seldom thought of function: it gives horses something to do. Horses in a pasture will spend up to 17 hours eating. When we feed hay or concentrates the eating time can be reduced significantly. Horses with reduced eating time become bored and can develop vices such as wood chewing. When looking for the right hay for your horse, keep in mind all the functions of hay: fiber, nutrients and boredom relief. Table 1. Horse Nutritional Needs (adapted from National Research Council) Class of Horse Minimum Crude Protein (%) Minimum Calcium (%) Minimum Phosphorus (%) Energy (DE) (Mcal/kg) Mature Idle Light Moderate Hard Pregnant Mares Lactating Mares Foaling to 3 months 3 months to weaning Young stock Weanlings Yearlings Up to 2 years old Other Elderly* PMU *If problems arise related to aging you can add 7 to 10% fat to the diet Protein Protein deficiency causes poor growth in young animals, and weight loss and poor performance, endurance and lactation in mature animals. Hay that is too low in protein will need a high protein supplement added to the diet. There are various high-protein supplements that can be used. High protein supplements are usually higher cost. Ultimately it is cheaper to buy hay with an adequate amount of protein. Alfalfa hay generally has a higher protein content than the grass hays, but not always. It depends partly on the maturity of the forage at harvest.

Making Good Quality Hay Pays Farm Business Management Update, February 2001 By Jack Dunford The ultimate test of hay quality is animal performance. Quality can be considered satisfactory when animals consuming the hay give the desired performance. Three factors influencing animal performance are (1) consumption - hay must be palatable; (2) digestibility and nutrient content - the hay must be digested to be converted to animal products; and (3) toxicisity factors - high quality hay must be free of components which are harmful to animals. Table 1 illustrates some important points about Virginia forages and supplementation. First, it pays to make good hay. Notice that most of the hays that were made at the right time - boot stage to early bloom - meet or exceed most of the cow's requirements. Second, ENERGY is the nutrient that most often needs to be supplemented with cool-season hays like fescue and orchardgrass. Warm-season grasses and silage more likely will need protein supplementation. Table 1. Comparison of Cow Nutrient Requirement to Forage Analysis

38. Cattlemen Coping With Winter -- 1996 CRP Hay Quality Will CRP hay meet the energy and protein requirements of the cow herd? TDN in this CRP hay will become inadequate prior to the last two months of pregnancy. http://www.ext.nodak.edu/extpubs/ansci/beef/coping/crphay.htm

North Dakota State University NDSU Extension Service 1996 CRP Hay Quality Kevin Sedivec , NDSU Extension Rangeland Specialist The U.S. Secretary of Agriculture released North Dakota's conservation reserve program (CRP) lands to emergency haying and grazing in 1996, so CRP lands became available for grazing 1 May and for haying 15 July. Haying was the most common practice performed on CRP lands, with almost 23% of North Dakota's 2.83 million acres of CRP harvested in 1996, or 646,701 acres. CRP produced an average 1.4 tons of hay per acre. Approximately 905,381 tons of forage (787,681 tons of dry matter) was produced for livestock use. Supplemental feeding or drylot feeding started earlier than normal in 1996 due to early blizzards and heavy snowfall, eliminating much fall grazing. If most livestock producers provided hay for their animals by 15 November, they will conduct a winter feeding program for approximately six months. On the average, a mature cow will utilize (consumption and waste) 5,900 lbs (2.95 tons) of dry matter from 15 November through 15 May, with an average calving date of 15 March. The 1996 hay produced from CRP lands has the potential to feed 267,011 cows or 24.5% of North Dakota's mature cows (936,000) and replacement heifers (155,000). Many livestock producers have expressed a concern about the quality of the CRP hay cut after 15 July. Historically, 15 July has been the date used to allow emergency haying of CRP lands and other government program lands.

39. Selecting Quality Hay Good quality hay is produced in New Jersey every year. Using the above factors to inspect hay will provide a general indication of the crop quality. http://www.rce.rutgers.edu/burlington/selectin.htm

Selecting Quality Hay For the best results, hay must be both palatable and nutritious. The most nutritious hay has little value if it is unpalatable and animals will not eat it. Ideally, for a balanced ration, hay should be tested by a forage testing laboratory to determine its feeding value. Rutgers Cooperative Extension fact sheet FS714 Analysis of Feeds and Forages for Horses provides detailed information regarding forage analysis. However, due to the time required for testing, many times this step is skipped. Many individuals evaluate hay based on sight, smell and feel. This system gives no quantitative value of protein or energy level in the hay. In the absence of forage testing, it is important to know what can generally be interpreted from looking at hay. When purchasing hay for feeding, the stage of maturity, color, leafiness, general condition and presence of foreign material are the most important factors to examine. All of these factors will have an influence on both palatability and nutritional value. Stage of Maturity As a hay crop approaches maturity, the palatability and digestibility decrease. The stage of maturity at harvest largely determines its feeding value. The stage of maturity at harvest can be evaluated by looking at the flower buds of legumes (alfalfa, clover) and seedheads of grasses (timothy, orchard grass, etc.). Generally, grass hays should be harvested just as the seedhead appears. Alfalfa should be cut in the early bloom stage.
