equilibrium PortionPacer™ Haynets

Product description The small holed haynet makes a significant difference to rate of intake. The way in which forage is eaten is just as important as the amount of forage given. Feeding patterns are one of the risk factors for digestive disorders and a difficult aspect to manage especially when the horse is stabled for prolonged periods for example overnight. In a field based observational study looking at 10 horses and 10 ponies fed forage from the floor a 6cm holed net or a 3cm holed net the feed/forage intake rate of horses and ponies using the 3cm net resulted in a more consistent hourly intake pattern. The 3cm net also prolonged feeding time by up to 30% across the group. A small holed haynet can help reduce the total amount eaten as well as prolonging the time taken to consume a set amount of forage. For many horses a controlled calorie intake also means less time spent eating which impacts on digestive health and general well-being. As horses are designed for multiple meals per day using a small holed haynet is an easy way of working towards a more natural feeding pattern for your horse or pony whilst carefully reducing the amount eaten in a 24-hour period.
