Reasons Why Round Bale Hay Net Is Perfect For Horse Feeding

By Iva Cannon


In order to continue operations in an animal farm, farmers need to come up with different feeding ideas without sacrificing the health of their animals. They need to come up with cost effective plans so that they will save money, time, and energy. If they are able to do this, the costs of overall operations will significantly decrease while increasing sales and production. There are already inventions these days necessary to make this possible.

There is a need to really take extra care of equines. They cost a lot and they are sold in hundreds or thousands of dollars depending on the breed. One of the most effective feeding mechanisms for horses is the round bale hay net. This is now widely used in farms situated in different regions.

Some other reasons why hay nets should be used in the feeding process include slowing down of consumption, long lasting feeds, reduction of choking incidence, and avoidance of eye injuries. In addition, the old equines will find it more convenient. They will also have more hays to feed on in twenty four hours.

They will slowly consume the hays fed to them because the net serves as a controller. Some horses like to get more than enough but they are just wasting them in the process. So they need this controller to control wastes as well.

If the horses are left alone to choke because of eating too much, they could be seriously affected. Thus, they need to be given only adequate amounts that they can chew. Through this, they will only be allowed to get the right amount gradually instead of taking too much causing a dangerous choke.

Eye injuries are also avoided. These animals usually get eye injuries when they eat their food. They have to stick their heads inside a feeder causing them to get hurt. So this is a safe alternative for them to be safe while eating. If they have problems in the eye, their movements and sense of direction will be affected.

The older equines will find it convenient to feed on the nets because they are only capable of getting small amounts. This technique also allows fair feeding for the other animals especially the old and younger ones. It is crucial to consider their safety at all costs.

The nets are made durably from polyethylene. They are made to be slightly stretchable so that the equines will not have a hard time pulling off a hay. They also have stabilized UVs with strong drawstrings used to tie the net underneath securely. There are smaller holes for the mini equines, ponies, and follies. And there are larger holes for the fully grown equines.

The shapes are round or square. The best way to put them must begin from the top and then down under so that the hays are secured and will not pole out of the holes as much as possible. The small holes are for follies and minis while the bigger holes are for the bigger stallions and adults.
