Yes, blackleg can be associated with poor-quality hay if it contains spores of Clostridium chauvoei, the bacterium that causes the disease. Inadequate storage or contamination can lead to the growth of these bacteria in hay. When livestock consume contaminated feed, they can develop blackleg, which is a serious and often fatal disease. Therefore, ensuring good hay quality and proper storage is essential for preventing this condition.
