Low-dust hay for horses with equine asthma
Cleaner forage that lowers the respirable dust behind RAO and IAD.
Equine asthma (RAO/IAD) is one of the most common performance-limiting conditions in stabled horses, and its biggest environmental trigger is the respirable dust in forage — mould spores and fine particles small enough to reach deep into the lung. A horse eats with its muzzle buried in the hay for hours a day, so what it inhales there matters as much as what it digests.
Prime Hay is double-pressed and low in dust, which shakes fine particles and mould dust out of the bale — without soaking away nutrients or sugars.
Why dust matters more than owners realise
Particles below about 5 microns reach the deep lung and drive inflammation, and even hay that looks clean can be dusty. For respiratory-sensitive and sport horses, switching to clean, screened forage is one of the single most effective changes you can make.
How Prime Hay reduces respirable dust
- Double-pressing that shakes fine dust loose
- Double-pressed, dense bales that store and portion cleanly
- Every batch screened for hygienic quality (mould and dust)
- Low-sugar and lab-tested, so airway-friendly forage is metabolically safe too
Frequently asked
Is low-dust hay better than soaking or steaming?
Double-pressing shakes the fine dust loose before the bale is wrapped, so you get clean hay without soaking away sugars and nutrients or steaming every net. Many owners use clean, screened hay as the everyday baseline.
Is Prime Hay suitable for horses with RAO or IAD?
Yes — double-pressed forage, low in dust, lowers the respirable dust and mould that trigger equine asthma. Combine it with good stable ventilation and low-dust bedding for the best result.
