Benefits Of Slow Feed Hay Nets

By Charles Jackson


Individual farmers strive to ensure that their horse feed as the way nature intended. Giving your stallion small but frequent forages, boost the health at a very fast rate. The Mounts consume different forage-based fodders every time in a day. The range of hours it is involved in foraging is between 14 to 15 hours in a day. You can reduce the amount of hays consumed by the horse by adopting slow feed hay nets method at your home.

First, the reason as to why many farmers are adopting this forage method is that it is a no-waste method. Horses waste up to almost 60% of their forage without nets. Slow feeding silage mesh mimics the natural grazing as well as allowing the animal consume and absorb more nutrients. It is therefore important that you come up with new ways to forage your mare to its satisfaction using the least food and avoiding obesity.

This method also prevents the animal from getting serious health complications, which may include founder, ulcers, colic as well as thrush. The animal can consume between 24lbs and 25lbs of food and because of their stomach digests and disposes frequently, the digestion may be overdone and a lot of excess removed. The much feeding of your animal may cause many health problems than bringing nutrients to the digestive system.

Another importance of this method is that it engages the mare in something to do. This greatly minimizes boredom, which would help avoid unwanted characters such as weaving and stall, cribbing, and paddock walking. This also prevents obsessing over the feeds during the time in between the various stages of foraging.

The maintenance of proper body chemical levels is also a big advantage of using this type of method. The strategy highly prevents the misbalancing of the insulin level in the body. Taking unnecessary nutrients in the hay may cause the ph, bacteria, insulin and other levels to be unstable. By adopting the mesh method, the owner of the mare will minimize the various medical costs as well as reducing the pay experiences of their animal.

If you use this method, there will be minimal clean ups in your ranch since there are minimal waste disposals on the ranch. This maintains proper hygiene in your ranch. Various aspects are maintained by the retention of the solid remains in the feeding net. However, it is important to note that the method must be properly administered to get the quality hygiene in your ranch.

The method does not tolerate the existence of various flies, insects and pests. It helps reduce the pest and insect infections to the animal. Waste disposal is maintained in your ranch if you use this type of method. The proper placing of the fodder in a mesh and frequent removal of waste do this from the nets, which may bring many pests in your ranch.

The net installation helps avoid lung irritation and the damages caused by the intake of much dust and other harmful particles. The distressing eye injuries of the horse caused by the delving of the stallion into the bale directly are also prevented. This safes you from incurring expenses on trying to treat the stallion. It is also critical to give your stallion sometime to learn how to use the mesh. Put it for the stallion and let the animals make its own way to get the feet from your round mesh.
