Re: [RC] hay--recommended daily allowances - Susan Garlinghouse

That's pretty good hay.  As I continue to wade through my email, Heidi will
probably say that selenium needs to be supplemented, and I would agree.
Can't tell a whole lot about energy directly (what was the ADF and NDF?),
but it's probably around .8-1.0 Mcal per kg, decent for grass hay.  Sounds
like good hay.  Be sure to keep it under cover this winter if you can.

Subject: [RC] hay--recommended daily allowances



I just got a retriever load or bermuda hay and I got a copy of a hay

analysis that was done on this farm's hay last year at this time. (I'm
assuming the values would still be about the same?) Can anyone tell me what
the ideal values would be, or where I could find this info?  After looking
at my Susan G notes and searching the archives I think this hay is pretty
good so far.  At last I have a way of trying to learn more about my hay. Is
there anything I should supplement?   Here are a few of the results for dry
matter:


% protein    12.3
% TDN       58    (how's that?)  they also have horse TDN  49
% calcium     .52
% phosphorus  .13
% magnesium   .19
% potassium   2.37
% sodium       .064
iron ppm  245
zinc ppm  18
copper ppm 8
manganese ppm 97
molybdenum ppm  <1
selenium ppm  .5  (do I need to supplement?  I saw that Heidi said .8-1.0

is ideal)
