Any experience feeding horses round bales that have been treated with a spray preservative?
Saw a new JD baler this summer in operation that has an integral spray system for baling high moisture hay, alfalfa, etc. with some type of preservative (don't know exactly the compostition, etc..).
Apparently, this system can mean the difference between getting a hay crop off the field during those year's when the weather won't cooperate.
I can appreciate the fact that cows will eat most anything that even remotely resembles a plant -- but, horses are a whole different critter!
Anybody ever try to feed horses "preservative treated hay bales"?
Thanks in advance for any comments.
