Many horse owners try to buy the best quality hay for their animals they could find. You do that too, right? And you spend lots of money on hay for your horse. So, you need to know how to store hay. Proper storage will allow you to use your hay for healthy nutrition of your horses. You need to keep your hay safe from weather, rodents and mildew.
There are two major types of hay storage: indoor and outdoor storage. If you want to keep your hay in the barn, make sure it remains dry. Check the roof of the barn to find out if there are any leaks or water drainage problems. Repair the roof of your horse barn regularly.
Check if there is any condensation on the inside of the roof. If there is condensation it may drip on your hay and spoil it. You might need to use special plastic tarp to take water away from the roof. A good idea is to get better ventilation too.
Make sure your horse barn is free from rodents. They could contaminate your hay. Inspect your barn regularly and plug all entrances with steel or other type of material. If this does not help, get cats which are great mouse hunters.
Do not keep your hay on the floor. Keep it off the ground. Used wooden pallets are great for this purpose. And you will be able to get them for free in many cases.
Make sure there is a good air flow where your hay is kept. Hay bales should be stored with narrow gaps between tows. You should also check the temperature inside the bales regularly. Once again having proper ventilation is crucial for both your horses and your hay. If there is not enough air flow, you might have problems with storing your hay.
Try to feed your horses with older hay at the first place. Always keep older hay in the front. You might need to side it before you bring new hay inside. Fresher hay could be stored longer than older one. So, always feed your horses with older hay before you begin to give them the fresher supply.
Try to keep bales compacted. When broken the hay is exposed to air. And this may lead to damage and lowers its quality.
If you have to store your hay on the outside, make sure it is put on any kind of ventilated platform. This way moisture from the ground will not get inside the hay bales. Protect your hay from both sun and rain. Try to put your hay bales into a pyramid to make sure water is running off it. Sunlight cause loss of nutrients, so make sure your hay is no exposed to sun either.
