Just looking for opinions on this, I have ready it could have as much as 8-11% protein. Just looking for opinions good and bad.
Thanks,
Matt
 
We looked at rice hay and numbers were more like 5 - 7% protein. So much depends on how quick it was baled after it was cut. acts like a filler only no nutricinal value.
 
From what i have seen in the past, about 5% is about right. It will only be a filler...This year if your in a drought area, you really need to have all your hay tested, not only for TDN and CP but for excess prussic acid and nitrogen excesses as well. Have all ready had a few friends loose livestock to bad hay....You should test every year...but this year for sure!
