Australian Hay
Highly Nutritious
Australian hay is grown by farmers to fulfil a wide variety of purposes for a range of markets, such as feed for dairy and beef cattle, as well as goats, horses, and sheep. Oaten Hay, Wheaten Hay and Barley Hay are a prime source of digestible fibre and can be fed alone or as part of a mixed ration feed and are complimentary to Alfalfa Hay.

Green & Clean
GREEN & CLEAN
Australia is highly regarded for the national farming practices that result in a “green and clean” reputation. Australia boasts low nitrate soils, low potassium levels, and farmers do not use GMOs or fire-retardant chemicals.
Dry Land Farming
Australia has been exporting hay for over 30 years, the longevity of the industry can be attributed in part to the large-scale professional growers. Australia has only one annual crop, which is grown through dry land farming ensuring a high quality crop each year.

Uninterrupted Supply
UNINTERRUPTED SUPPLY
Moisture controls and Annual Ryegrass Toxicity Testing are mandated in Australia to ensure safety throughout the production and export process as well as safeguarding the quality of the product. Quality assurance programs ensure quality standards are maintained. Balco Australia leads the Australian hay industry in consistency with testing and controlled grading to protect the interests of our customers.
Consistent Climate
CONSISTENT CLIMATE
The type and quality of hay crop that a farmer can produce depends heavily on the climate and each season. The long dry, hot summers and modest winter rainfall across Australia creates a consistent, bacteria suppressive climate.
Quality Controlled
Australian hay is mechanically cut and conditioned, then dried in the field before it is stacked and stored locally in large sheds. The weather and climate, soil and ground conditions, as well as the machinery farmers use all play an important role in ensuring high quality, consistent product.
