Haygain Hay Steamers
Know your Hay
The quality of hay depends on the value of the crop, determined by the weather and maintenance of the grass before harvest. Hay making must be done during warm dry weather and ideally cut in the afternoon. Once cut, the grass must be given sufficient time to dry, to remove moisture before baling. The healthier and drier the crop, the better the hay.
What to look for?
When looking for high-quality hay, knowing what is inside counts. Before buying hay, open at least one bale up and look inside. Slight discolouration isn’t a problem; this often occurs with stacked hay.
Obvious signs of bad hay are warmth, extreme sun bleaching, mould, dust, fermentation or abnormal heaviness. Avoid hay that contains weeds, dirt, insects or rubbish.
Look at the texture of the hay; it should be fine-stemmed, green, leafy and soft.
Good hay should smell sweet; poor hay often smells musty.
Try to feed the hay within the year of its harvest, to ensure it still retains its nutritional value.
How to store hay?
Storage is vital to ensure hay remains top quality. Hay should be stored in hay sheds and barns that offer complete protection from wind, rain, snow and sun.
Store areas must be cleaned out before new hay is stacked in. If old hay dust is left, mouldy spores can mix with the new clean forage. Old hay should be kept separate from new bales. Unless the floor of the barn has a waterproof membrane (concrete), bales should be raised off the ground to avoid moisture rising through floor.
Once baled, the hay is still drying so it’s crucial to keep it well ventilated; leaving the bales out in the field to develop for a couple of days, if sunny, can be beneficial.
There are generally two main types of hay storage barns: fully enclosed, which can be open at one end for ease of filling, but are otherwise totally enclosed, and "roof only" structures, accessible from all sides.
When planning storage, ventilation is the key to good hay. The storage must allow for air exchange, either by natural ventilation, or a fan system. This is especially the case if the hay is not perfectly dry, so the air can get in to the hay and dry it out completely. Good ventilation will also remove excessive moisture; if the moisture is left, it can move from warmer to cooler areas of the stack, damaging more bales. Ventilation will also remove condensation which can form under steel.
‘Visitors’ to hay barns (chickens, foxes, rodents, etc.) can contaminate hay and will leave their ‘calling card’ - adding to the bacteria – as well as their smell, which horses notice far more acutely than humans. (Cats are great for killing rodents.)
Hay bales should be stacked with the newer ones at the back and the older at the front, so the older ones are used first, and allow narrow gaps between rows for extra air flow. Try to keep them off the ground to ensure maximum air flow; open lofts are ideal; another alternative is wooden pallets.
Steaming Hay
Even the best quality hay may contain levels of dust and spores, which can provoke coughing in horses, as well as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), amongst other respiratory diseases.
Soaking hay to eliminate dust is not only messy and laborious, but also reduces the nutritional content and produces a liquid waste that is classed as an environmental pollutant, eight times worse than human effluent.
Steaming hay with the HAYGAIN hay steamer has been scientifically proven to kill harmful spores found in hay and therefore effectively sterilise hay without nutritional loss.
The HAYGAIN hay steamer has been researched and extensively tested at The Royal Agricultural College, by Equine Nutritionist Dr Meriel Moore-Colyer.
HAYGAIN’s unique concept enables steam to penetrate the centre of the bale, releasing steam evenly which defuses outwards, ensuring the entire bale is steamed at the critically necessary temperatures (circa 100°C throughout).
Using the HAYGAIN hay steamer produces sweet-smelling, palatable, dust-free hay.

About the Author
Would a stainless steel pot burning make food toxic?
I was steaming food for my 8 month old baby and after smelling a 'burning' realised I had forgotten to put in water. Please don't judge - I know I'm an idiot but being a mum can alter an otherwise normally functioning brain!
It must have been on the heat for about 5 minutes. The pot was VERY hot and the vegies were soft and cooked through. Only those in contact with the metal steamer were slightly burnt.
I know I should probably chuck the food but I wonder whether it would have toxins in it released from the metal.
I look forward to your thoughts.
The food won't become toxic, they'll just get burned. Next time, add either a little butter, or some vegetable and/or olive oil or water to the bottom before cooking your vegetables.
