I agree with JD on the use of preservatives for horses...at the least it is questionable. I disagree with "preserved" hay having a shelf life. I have used prop. acid for several years now and have never had a batch of hay go bad. It is imperative that you know the moisture content of the hay and apply the correct amount of preservative accordingly. This means a chamber mounted moisture meter and setting your pump accordingly. You also have to know how much you are baling on a per ton basis per hour. Preservatives are applied on a "per ton" basis based on the % of moisture. To determine this, bale for a set amount of time and then count and weigh the bales. Then you know how much you are baling per hour. Preservatives work if you put on the correct amount. In laymen's terms, it kills off the bad bacteria that cause spoilage long enough for the hay to naturally dry down. Using perservatives is kind of a pita, but if you want it to work properly, you have to take the necessary steps.
