Agriculture
Dutch term or phrase: gelp
"Stinkpoten [bij schapen] blijken vooral op te komen na langdurig instrooien met oud, maar gelp hooi."

This forms part of a hypothetical example in a text which is otherwise completely unrelated to livestock farming. But what on earth does the word "gelp" mean here?
