Mold can wreak havoc on your hay. That mold growth produces heat, carbon dioxide and water, which damages your hay. Moldy hay can then lead to nutrient loss and produce dust. To protect the quality and nutrient value of your alfalfa and timothy hay, your farm can use GEM Dust, our mold growth inhibitor and preferred forage additive. 

GEM Dust is designed to help reduce mold population in a mixture of alfalfa and timothy hay bale at 18-25% moisture.

• Allows you to bale at 18 – 25% moisture, so you do not have to wait for that one perfect day
• Uses lactic acid, which is harmless to animals and people
• Non-corrosive to equipment
• Easy to apply as there is no need to haul water or mix
• Available in a soluble option if you are already set up for acid application
• Affordable GEM Dust Plus applicators are also available
