👉 Hay engineering is a specialized field that focuses on the processing, storage, and quality control of hay to ensure it remains nutritious and palatable for livestock throughout the year. This involves a series of steps including cutting, cleaning, drying, and sometimes ensiling or ensaculating the hay to prevent spoilage and maintain its integrity. Engineers in this field analyze factors like moisture content, protein levels, and fiber structure to optimize these processes, ensuring that the hay meets the specific nutritional requirements of different animals. Advanced technologies such as precision drying systems and quality monitoring tools are also employed to enhance efficiency and consistency, ultimately improving feed quality and animal health.
