When I was living in Florida in the 80's Went to a farm to pick up some squares for sisters horses. Guy had a spear hooked to an amonia tank and would stick it in a round bale full of mold,
then after a while feed it to his cows. he said it killed off the mold and made it more palatable to the cows. they shure seemed to like it they tore into it and it was still smoking or
steaming.
 
Not sure about killing mold, but in a drought the folks out west will do that with bales of straw. The cattle will eat it but I'm not sure about the nutritional value.
 

Local dairyman has covered rd bales in stacks of 150 + pyramided bales with plastic sheet and put anhydrous ammonia inside sheet for yrs. He states it kills mold & plant seeds and increases protein/paltability(sp). Hay turns brownish/black but cattle love it.
