Alfalfa Hay Process is done through Sun Drying Process, which is called Sun Curing Process. The haying process is totally manual and labor-intensive process.
The dry matter recovery is variable in nature. The dry matter means the hay residue of the same.
The pricing will be fluctuating based on the dry matter recovery.
The baling is done with a static baler in fixed size.

During the sun curing process the green pigments are lost. Which is a direct loss of Vitamin AD3. In order to avoid the loss of green pigmentation and core vitamin value of the forage, two stage haying is executed by HAF®. Stage One is direct sun curing and in Stage two passive sun curing is done in Net House. During the second stage of sun curing, high water content forage on drying process turns to Bottle Green Colour (which visually looks blackish green).
Sometimes lump formation is evident in hay bales and it’s because the hay in post sun curing process reaches to Moisture level around 6% or 7 %. During the baling process, a mild spray of saline water is applied to the hay (which adds 0.34% Moisture). That enables the appropriate binding process of the double compressed bales. The usage of saline water (instead of regular water) for spraying prevents the microbial and toxin growth in the hay.
The shelf life of the HAF® Alfalfa Hay is 48 Months and it’s all because of its meticulous processing methodology The bales must not come in direct sun light. Due to Photosensitivity, the green leafy material may lose green pigments. The standard weight of the Bale will be 45 Kgs or 50 Kgs, dependent on the volume of the dry hay.
Normally it takes 4-6 weeks to reach Jabel Ali Port. Which can be delivered within UAE.
