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 discourages certain behaviors of your stallion like cribbing, paddock walking, weaving and stalls among other behaviors. The animal is kept busy every moment.

The most important aspect in every process is to maintain various levels in the body of your horse. The process helps uphold the insulin level of the stallion. Some other process, which is unrestricted, will help you keep your horse away from the bacteria, ph and insulin imbalances. If the levels tend to imbalance, it may cause many side effects in the body of the mount. Using the method enables, you reduce health costs.

The method helps so much in maintaining the hygiene in the feeding area of your mare. There are minimal clean ups of the spoiled wastes that the stallions may not eat.

The proper hygiene in your ranch prevents pests and flies from affecting the ranch. The proper clean ups in the ranch would assist in keeping insects and pests away from your animals. This is because the net holds the silage until it is finished and is flapped to empty the remaining particles after foraging the horse. In this way there will be to particles scattered 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.
