Different Types Of Horse Hay Feeders

By Sandra Wilson


All living things have health concerns. We all need maintenance in order to keep our body in good condition. Lucky for us human beings, we could do it all ourselves and are even gifted with high intelligence that enables us to know different methods to keep ourselves conditioned. It goes the same for animals and we are the way for this to become possible. This is why horse hay feeders are made.

When you decide to take an animal home and make it a pet, what comes with it is your affirmation that they will be provided with their basic needs such as food and shelter. However, your obligations towards them do not end upon the provision of these things. You also have to take certain measures to keep them kicking in which proper diet is a big part of.

It is a common misconception for individuals to see nothing wrong with letting their pets has their meals served on the ground. Just like how we bathe our dogs and pigs, horses need to be kept in a clean environment as well in a way that they are freed from the bites of the insects that usually multiply in the left over hays that are starting to decay.

When the forage starts gets mixed with the dirt on the ground and starts to moisten, there is a big chance that insects will make it their breeding ground which will leave your pet uncomfortable. He could get bitten by them and worst is they could get certain types of diseases or infection due to constant scratching of the affected area of their skin. If you know how to take care of yourself then you must also have the initiative to animals you chose to keep.

Feeders actually have all the benefits you would ever need especially if you are a busy person who have not much of time to keep an eye to them all the time. There is this item called the net feather which is meant for slowing down horses from eating too fast and too much hays. It will motivate them to make a small opening on their mouth whenever they try to get some hays.

Another type called the slow feeder is mostly useful for owners who do not have enough time to monitor their horses. Through this, even if the food is always placed near within their reach, there will be less chance that they will consume the hay all uncontrollably. This is also a common way for horsemen to maintain the fitness of their pets paired with necessary exercises.

Feeders are meant to help owners keep their animals from eating too much which could be bad for them. Net feathers are basically just nets that keep the horse from being able to get a mouthful of hays. Through it, they will learn to slow down or else the net will be swallowed together with the forage. As much as they look uncomfortable feeding with it, it is actually helping them.

Slow feeders on the same hand functions the same as the net but it comes in a different form. It is like a rectangular container that has intersecting barriers that encourages your pets to eat slowly. It is not good when they chew too fast because it increases salivation which could cause them ulcer in the long run.

When the appropriate diet is paired with regular exercise, your horses will most likely gorw healthy with strong bones and joyful personality. Feeders are definitely good investment because anything that keeps them from getting sick is actually helping you avoid medical expenses in the future.
