Alfalfa hay treated with a commercial preservative containing 80% propionic and 20% acetic acid was evaluated as a feed for horses. In a two-choice preference test, horses preferred untreated hay (P < 0.05). When yearlings were fed either treated or untreated hay for 1 mo, there was no difference in feed consumption or weight gain indicating that when given no choice, horses find hay treated with propionic and acetic acid acceptable. Key words: Alfalfa, organic acid preservative, horse
