Hay smelling like salt n vinegar crisps

Hmm as above?

New big bale... Does this mean there have been some chemicals on it?

Either way its not right so will have to speak to YO

Mmm would be concerned, if it was haylege sounds like it has gone off but not heard of hay doing this??

Sounds like the hay has had some additive applied when baling to stop any mould growing. I is called Baler's Choice. It is basically a very weak mixture of citric (lemon juice) and proprionic acid. It stops hay heating up and mould growing. It poses no health implications to any animals as it is produced in the stomach naturally anyway.
