Hay is made from grasses or legumes (like alfalfa etc.) thatare grown and harvested specifically for livestock to eat. Hay is fairly high in nutritional content , is typically soft to the touch, should smell fresh or sweet, and it varies from dark green to a golden color depending on species and how old it is. Straw is the byproduct of the grain industry, it is the stalk from the wheat, oat, barley, and rye plants that are left behind once the grain heads have been stripped off of them. The stems are then cut and either baled as straw or processed into other products. Straw is typically used for bedding in foaling stalls or where other types of bedding may be hard to come by. Straw has little nutritional value and is more of a 'filler' when used as a feed additive. It is usually a bit dusty, tends to be 'neutral' in odor , and is almost always some shade of golden yellow. So no hay and straw are not the same exact thing.
