Which of the following statement is incorrect about hay preparation?
EXPLANATION
Hay Making, Artificial Dehydration & Forage P
- Principles of Haymaking:
- Statement 1: Finished cured hay should contain $\lt 12-15\%$ moisture to prevent mold growth and spontaneous heating (True).
- Statement 2: "Hay is dried more rapidly in the windrow than swath" (Incorrect / False):
- In the swath, the cut forage is spread out in a wide, thin, flat layer exposing maximum surface area to direct solar radiation and wind, drying substantially faster than in a gathered, compact windrow. Windrowing is done primarily after partial field drying to reduce leaf shatter.
- Statement 3: Rain on drying forage leaches soluble sugars and minerals (leaching loss) (True).
- Statement 4: Sun-curing converts ergosterol into Vitamin $D_2$ (ergocalciferol), making hay richer in Vitamin D than silage (True).
- nalysis:
- Statement 2 is incorrect, hence the correct answer.
