Derby Originals XX-Large Slow Feed Hay Bale Net for Horses and Goats
Category: hay nets for horses
This world-class Derby Originals hay net is designed to be highly resistant to damage from UV rays, mold, and mildew, as it is made from a polyester rope. These hay nets have been tested in wet and damp conditions and have proven to be durable, with no damage or smell, even when the hay was left to completely rot within them. These hay nets are ideal for those who need to soak their animal's hay, for all-season use, or for use in the pasture.
The hay net is handtied, which means the hole size may vary slightly. However, the average hole size is approximately 2x2 inches, which is the most commonly used and recommended opening size for slow-feeding the average horse. This size net opening will prevent excess hay wastage while slowing down your horse's feeding rate to a more natural, grazing-style pace. This size hay net is suitable for use with any type of hay.
The slow-feed hay nets provided by this brand help to prevent hay wastage by keeping the hay off the ground, which reduces waste and prevents spoilage. This results in cleaner hay that is utilized more efficiently, which is beneficial to your horse's health as well as your wallet.
Moreover, these hay nets promote improved digestion by allowing for slow feeding, which mimics natural grazing patterns. This feeding method is proven to aid the digestive process and is recommended by veterinarians to prevent gastric ulcers and colic.
Slow feeding also helps to reduce boredom in horses, as they are designed to spend up to 16 hours a day grazing. By replicating this natural behavior, the slow-feed hay nets keep your horse occupied for longer, which helps to prevent boredom-based bad behaviors such as chewing, cribbing, and pacing.
The durable design of these hay nets is another key feature. The sturdy poly rope is designed to be comfortable for your horse to eat from, while still being rip and tear resistant. These hay nets are ideal for daily individual and group feeding, use while trailering, and for soaking hay.
The hay nets are available in two sizes: 57 inches, which can hold up to 8-12 flakes of hay, and 90 inches, which can hold up to a bale and a half of hay. These sizes make the hay nets suitable for group feeding both indoors and outdoors.
