RE: [RC] [RC] Dead animals in feed - heidi

It's not the dead bodies ,it's the dead bodies with a lack of air in the
 decomposition.. Tightly bound hay with no air...


Laurie's right here.  Another risk is feeding hay that has built up in
tight layers on a floor.  Had a friend lose several horses to botulism
after he had a flood in his barn and he fed the wet stuff on the bottom to
get it out of there before it molded.

(BTW, Skyla, the most common "bodies" that we find in hay in this area are
rattlesnakes...  In keeping with a previous thread...)
