Hay steaming, the Glossary

Index Hay steaming

Hay steaming is a method of treating hay to reduce the airborne respirable dust which naturally occurs in hay, causing respiratory problems in both humans and horses when in close contact.[1]

Asthma

Asthma is a long-term inflammatory disease of the airways of the lungs.

See Hay steaming and Asthma

Bacteria

Bacteria (bacterium) are ubiquitous, mostly free-living organisms often consisting of one biological cell.

See Hay steaming and Bacteria

Beta-glucan

Beta-glucans, β-glucans comprise a group of β-D-glucose polysaccharides (glucans) naturally occurring in the cell walls of cereals, bacteria, and fungi, with significantly differing physicochemical properties dependent on source.

See Hay steaming and Beta-glucan

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a type of progressive lung disease characterized by long-term respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation.

See Hay steaming and Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) is a ministerial department of the Government of the United Kingdom.

See Hay steaming and Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs

Dust

Dust is made of fine particles of solid matter.

See Hay steaming and Dust

Hay

Hay is grass, legumes, or other herbaceous plants that have been cut and dried to be stored for use as animal fodder, either for large grazing animals raised as livestock, such as cattle, horses, goats, and sheep, or for smaller domesticated animals such as rabbits and guinea pigs. Hay steaming and hay are fodder.

See Hay steaming and Hay

Hermetic storage

Hermetic storage is a method of using sealed, airtight units to control moisture and insects in stored dry agricultural commodities. Hay steaming and Hermetic storage are agricultural technology.

See Hay steaming and Hermetic storage

Lipopolysaccharide

Lipopolysaccharide, now more commonly known as Endotoxin, is a collective term for components of the outermost membrane of cell envelope of Gram-negative bacteria, such as E. coli and Salmonella.

See Hay steaming and Lipopolysaccharide

Mold

A mold or mould is one of the structures that certain fungi can form.

See Hay steaming and Mold

Recurrent airway obstruction

Recurrent airway obstruction, also known as broken wind, heaves, wind-broke horse, or sometimes by the term usually reserved for humans, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or disorder (COPD) – it is a respiratory disease or chronic condition of horses involving an allergic bronchitis characterised by wheezing, coughing and laboured breathing.

See Hay steaming and Recurrent airway obstruction

Respiratory disease

Respiratory diseases, or lung diseases, are pathological conditions affecting the organs and tissues that make gas exchange difficult in air-breathing animals.

See Hay steaming and Respiratory disease

Silage

Silage is fodder made from green foliage crops which have been preserved by fermentation to the point of souring. Hay steaming and Silage are fodder.

See Hay steaming and Silage

Spore

In biology, a spore is a unit of sexual (in fungi) or asexual reproduction that may be adapted for dispersal and for survival, often for extended periods of time, in unfavourable conditions.

See Hay steaming and Spore

Steam

Steam is a substance containing water in the gas phase, often mixed with air and/or an aerosol of liquid water droplets.

See Hay steaming and Steam

Steam generator

A Steam generator is a device used to boil water to create steam.

See Hay steaming and Steam generator
