Online Published on 20 April, 2022. Abstract Presence of moulds and mycotoxins in animal feeds like hay has adverse effects on animal health. Faulty storage conditions lead to moisture development in hay causing mould development. Our study was aimed at analysing quantitative fungal load in fifty eight (58) hay samples meant for equine consumption and their proximate analysis components like moisture, crude fibre, crude fat, crude protein and acid insoluble ash (AIA).
