The Comparison of Airway Responses of Normal Horses Fed Round Bale versus Square Bale Hay
Background – Feeding horses round bale hay (RBH) has been associated with airway inflammation. The purpose of this study was to determine if horses fed RBH for a 6-week period demonstrated more evidence of airway inflammation than horses fed square bale hay (SBH) of comparable quality. Hypothesis - …

Accuracy of hay moisture sensing systems for round alfalfa bales
… measurement is critical when baling alfalfa into round bales for feed. If alfalfa is too wet or too dry, it can greatly diminish the alfalfa crop’s feed quality and cause economic loss to producers. Therefore, monitoring of alfalfa moisture content while baling is critical for producers to …

Program Feeding Strategies for Reducing Costs of Wintering Beef Cows
… the time that cows have access to a large round bale of hay to as little as 3 hours per day will result in acceptable cow performance depending on hay quality. Limiting time of access also reduced hay use (P < .01) by limiting intake and decreasing hay waste, thereby reducing feed costs for …
