Mold in Feed Signals Caution for Manitoba Farmers
Manitoba farmers are urged to inspect hay grain and silage for mold before feeding livestock. Livestock specialist Bill Steeds warns moldy feed often exceeds 15 percent moisture and toxins can be deadly. Producers should sample for analysis, test on few animals, dilute with safe feed, and avoid contaminated forage for cows and breeding stock to prevent respiratory issues.
