Which feeding practice most directly reduces feed spoilage caused by excess moisture in harvested forage?
Correct answer: A. Rapid drying before storage
- A. Rapid drying before storage
- B. Increasing particle size after storage
- C. Adding untreated water before feeding
- D. Storing forage in open sunlight
Explanation
Rapid drying lowers moisture and restricts the growth of moulds and spoilage microorganisms in hay. Open storage and added water generally increase the risk of deterioration rather than preventing it.
