Soaking hay is a common practice, but how effective is it actually at reducing dust particles in the air?

This study found that dust particles in the air, particularly around the horses head, were significantly reduced when hay was soaked for just 15 minutes prior to feeding.

Ivester, K. M., Ni, J., Couetil, L. L., Peters, T. M., Tatum, M., Willems, L., & Park, J. H. (2024). A wearable real‐time particulate monitor demonstrates that soaking hay reduces dust exposure. Equine Veterinary Journal, 57(4), 1065–1073. https://doi.org/10.1111/evj.14425
