Adding a biological hay preservative to hay and straw inhibits the yeasts and fungi that can lead to spoilage and poor-quality feed.

HayKing is a combination of fermentation extracts that inhibit hay decomposition microbes – ensuring bales store better, remain cooler and result in better feed.

Our biological hay preservative inhibits the growth of the yeasts and fungi that use up feed energy, heat bales and produce mycotoxins that affect animal health.

HayKing comes in an easy-to-store liquid that is applied straight from the can through one of our custom Ascot Pump applicators with in-cab control and volume monitor.

HayKing works best when used with good haymaking practices. Only bale when moisture levels are below 24% and be sure to apply the correct rate of HayKing.

Directions for use:

Accurately measure the moisture content of high moisture hay before baling using either a moisture meter or carry out a microwave test. Do not use HayKing if moisture levels exceed 24%.

If crop conditions change, the application rate can be changed from the cab using a dash-mounted controller. The controller enables you to regulate the application rate to meet light, medium or heavy crop loadings.

Bale size	Minimum application rate
Conventional small bales up to 35 kg	Moisture content < 21% 20 mL per bale Moisture content 21–24% 25 mL per bale
