How it works
HayKingHV is a biological hay preservative that works by inhibiting the growth of yeasts and fungi that use up feed energy, heat bales and produce mycotoxins that affect animal health.
Applying HayKingHV at baling suppresses these spoilage microbes, ensuring that the metabolic energy of the forage is maintained at a higher level in the hay. This higher energy hay feeds more animals per tonne of hay, as well as improving storage and palatability.
BioStart HayKingHV is a combination of fermentation extracts that inhibit hay decomposition, ensuring bales store better, remain cooler and results in better feed. Unlike traditional inoculants which rely on introducing live bacteria HayKingHV does not contain live microbes.
Open totes can also be reused the following days or after a break, reducing waste and there is no mixing required.
