| We are now offering Slow Feed Nets to compliment our Hay Feeders and Hay
Rings. Our feeders will protect your net from damage from hooves,
shoes, stomping and reduces the risk of holes where horses can get
caught in the netting. Hay Nets are available in round bale, large square
and small square sizes.
Advantages of the Slow Feed Netting
• Regulates feed consumption - obese horses usually loose weight / thin
horses normally gain weight
• Less waste! Not only saves dollars, but time and space
• Healthier feeding - slow delivery as opposed to the gorge and starve cycle
which is hard on horses' systems.
• Reduced maintenance - nets can hold days worth of food
• No more fighting over feed - it's always available
• No specific feeding times for you to keep
• Your horse will never be hungry and always ready to go
The Original 2” is a great place to start feeding your horses. If your
goal is to reduce waste but not necessarily your horse's waist line, then
this is the net for you. Most horses do very well on this net, but may
consume more than desired. This net is great for the following issues:
Heaves
Choke
Colic prone horses
Reducing waste
Herd aggression
Hard keepers
Senior horses
Ulcers
Slow Feed Netting (Slow Feed Extreme / Opening size: 1") The Slow Feed
Extreme is our second smallest mesh that we carry and should not be used
when introducing a horse to slow feeding. We recommend that horse owners
start with the 2” web then over the course of time wean their horse to the
1” mesh web. Horses that don't maintain a good weight using the Slow Feed
should be transitioned to the 1”. It's great for the extreme cases of
metabolic disorders, for horses that are on stall rest, or for sheep and
goats.
Remember that if your horse creates a hole in the net to tie it closed. It
is recommended to look closely at the net every day to inspect it for any
holes that your animal may get caught up in.
The Slow Feed 1” mesh size is great for slowing down the speed at which your
animal consumes hay, making the ration last much longer. Please keep in mind
that your animal may become irritated due to the size of the opening. They
may start to bite and paw at the net to get at their feed. This net is the
next step for animals that may be too “ efficient on the Original (2”") mesh
size. This net is great for most metabolisms and offers all the benefits of
the Original size with a few extras as well. This mesh size is great for:
Metabolically challenged horses, donkeys and mules
Mini horses, burros, donkeys and mini-mules
Any horses that need to be slowed down
Horses that can't be "free-fed" (allowed access to unlimited hay)
Always offer free choice hay along with your Slow Feed Net until your
animals have learned to successfully graze from it.
Note: Order bag 1 foot larger than actual bale size.
