Strategies On How To Select A Slow Feeder For Hay

By Timothy Bell


Slow feeders may be somewhat similar with one another. They all hold a huge amount of hays and restrict the amount of hays when being pulled by the horses. This have lots of small openings rather than those which have free access and eat all you can through the bug holes. It comes in two types which are solid materials and nets. Some even are hybrids which uses both materials into one. When it comes to slow feeders for horses, individuals must follow the right guidelines on how to buy their very own feeder.

Horses would feel much happy when they can just nibble hays for several hours rather than eating them all at one time. This eliminates the possibility of letting them stand around doing nothing except wait for the next feeding time. This gives the digestive tracts at peace because they only digest a few amount of food but the supply of fibers are continuous.

Size is imperative. The size of a feeder is important. Calculate the number of horses and the number of nets to be installed. Having a few more nets is sufficient enough to provide foods to a number of horses living in a quarter or stable. Determine where to use the feeder. Choose between the trailers, pasture and stall types. Each one has different dimensions and qualities.

When the feeder has a grate or contain it, leave it on the ground for several days until them become familiar with it. It will take some time to make them lower their head to the equipment. Once the grate is being added, pull out some hays on the openings to let them get started. Check them out while still in this phase. Watch out for any sign of frustration and stress.

If the net has a hole which is too large, it will give the animal as much as they can buffet. This would become similar by letting them eat on the ground. Many researchers have suggested to use a net that has a smaller size because it will take some time for animals to consume it. This will slow their feeding but not induces exasperation.

Chewing while the head is low will create more pressure on their teeth and allow the jaw bones to freely move in different directions. This gives the joints, ligaments, muscles, bone structure and tendons not a stressful act when eating a downward motion. This protects their eyes and tracts in their respiratory against dust and mold spores.

Place a few feeders as far as possible. Place at least two nets on each on the stables. One net can accommodate two or three horses at a time. But, having more nets can satisfy their curiosity, minimize the squabbles and encourage movement.

Get referrals from your loved ones and friends. They may know some information that might be useful to you. Try to get some suggestions and advice about how to purchase a feeder.

Budgeting is important. Purchasing the feeders is expensive if you purchase from a well known manufacturer. To save some money, purchase from a company that offer top quality equipment with a low price. Get a quote from local manufacturers and call them for estimation.
