Premium Dust Extracted Hay

To ensure your hay maintains its nutritional value and remains as fresh as possible, you should store your hay somewhere dry, cool and well-ventilated. Our bagged hay can last for 18 months as long as it is correctly stored.

Double-compressed hay bales have several benefits for horses. Some of these benefits include:

• Easy to handle 
• Bigger size bales 
• Pre-sliced to make feeding simpler

We also offer bagged hay, which is a tidier option for when you’re travelling with your horse.

To reduce nutrient content, hay can be soaked for 1–12 hours, with soak times adjusted based on forage analysis wherever possible. Shorter soak times of <30 minutes can also be used to reduce respirable particles. Where hay is soaked for longer periods, increase pre-soaked hay rations by 20% to account for dry matter losses, and provide a ration balancer to replace lost minerals. Soaked hay should be fed immediately to prevent bacterial growth, with soaking water disposed of responsibly. For optimal hygiene, limit soak times in warm weather or consider high-temperature steaming post-soaking.

Nutrient losses can be increased by using warm water, a greater volume of water, agitating the hay, changing the water during soaking, or rinsing it post-soak.

We would recommend seeking nutritionist support if you need advice on the best solution for your horse’s well-being.

Storing your M&T Hay is simple. Any products in bags that are unopened can be left outside, as long as they are checked regularly. Our strapped hay bales should be stored inside in a dry, cool area that is free from moisture.
