Moisture content in hay

A. 10 - 12%

B. 15 - 20%

C. 30 - 35%

D. 60 - 65%

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Moisture content in hay is 15 - 20%.
Hay is grass, legumes, or other herbaceous plants that have been cut and dried to be stored for use as animal fodder, or for large grazing animals raised as livestock.
The cut material is allowed to dry so that the bulk of the moisture is removed but the leafy material is still robust enough to be picked up from the ground by machinery and processed into storage in bales, stacks, or pits. Hay is considered fully dry when it reaches 20% moisture.
