A recent webinar hosted by Ward Laboratories discussed the factors that impact the quality of hay production. Panelists, including forage specialists from various universities, emphasized the importance of proper weed control, storage techniques, and equipment in producing high-quality hay. They highlighted the need for lab tests to accurately determine hay quality, as visual inspection alone is insufficient. The panelists also discussed the significance of acid detergent fiber (ADF) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) measurements in lab tests, as well as the impact of pre-harvest and post-harvest practices on fiber content. Additionally, they provided recommendations for equipment and storage practices to maintain hay quality. [Extracted from the article] |
