This week, I’m joined by Dr. Krishona Martinson from the University of Minnesota, a leading expert in equine forage research. We take a look at her research on hay waste, what causes it, and how horse owners can significantly reduce loss and lower feeding costs.
In this episode, we discuss:
- What research shows about hay waste across feeding methods
- How much hay horse owners typically waste and why
- The real financial impact of wasted hay
- Simple ways to keep more hay in your horse, not on the ground
- Feeding strategies proven to reduce waste
- Common mistakes that increase hay loss
- How to choose a feeding setup that fits your barn
Feeding horses is expensive. It's even more expensive when their hay gets wasted. If you’ve wondered how much money you are wasting and which hay-feeding methods actually work, this episode gives you clear, research-based answers that will benefit your horses and your wallet.
