Following are Flood Recovery tips from the W.V.U. Extension Service.
Until tested, flooded feeds should be considered harmful to animals. After a flood, wet feed and grain will begin to heat and mold very quickly, leading to spoilage, mycotoxins, and potential spontaneous combustion. Remove unaffected grain and bales immediately and store them separately; moisture will quickly spread.
Flooded seed grain, hay, and silage are likely a complete loss. When in doubt, don’t risk it, throw it out!
