Progressive Dairyman asked, “Do you use hydrated lime as a bedding additive?”
In a combined vote (52.5 percent), the majority of our readers responded that they do use hydrated lime as a bedding additive. That 52.5 percent is a combination of two responses: 37.7 percent said they use hydrated lime with freestalls and another 14.8 percent said they use it with tiestalls.
Those who said that they do not use hydrated lime were only slightly behind the popular vote, totaling at 47.5 percent. PD
