  • Who is the PortionPacer™ Haynet for?

    The variety of mesh hole sizes and hay net sizes means there is a PortionPacer™ Haynet for every horse and pony. Here’s a few scenarios:

    • For all horses to know how much they are eating and adjust their diet accordingly (if needed).
    • To extend eating times for overweight horses, or those who eat quickly and are therefore left without hay for long periods of time.
    • For underweight horses to monitor the amount they are eating.
    • For horses that tend to wreck haynets.
    • For horses that like to mess their forage, resulting in waste.

  • Which haynet is best for my horse?

    Both haynet options are long lasting and durable solutions to knowing how much forage your horse is eating. They are also effective in reducing waste, could save money, and for horses who mix their forage into their bed and reduced the chance of ingesting bedding. With size options from 2kg for very small ponies, all the way up to 12kg for the bigger horse, there are multiple options to ensure your horse is getting access to the forage they need. Use the link below to find out more about each sized net and the benefits.

The Story

Nous savons que les chevaux sont naturellement des animaux qui mangent par petites quantités tout au long de la journée, mais pour diverses raisons, il n’est pas toujours possible de savoir combien ils mangent ou combien de temps leur foin leur suffit. Le filet à foin PortionPacer™ résout deux problèmes. Le premier est que vous connaissez approximativement le nombre de kilogrammes que contient chaque filet à foin, et donc la quantité offerte à votre cheval. Le second point est que vous connaissez le rythme d’alimentation par rapport au foin distribué en libre-service au sol, ce qui vous permet de décider de quel filet votre cheval a besoin pour gérer son poids et si les périodes de repas doivent être prolongées. Ces informations peuvent vous aider non seulement à surveiller leur consommation de fourrage, mais aussi à réduire la « période de faim ». Si les chevaux sont laissés sans nourriture pendant de longues périodes, cela peut avoir des effets négatifs sur leur bien-être mental et physique.

FAQ's

Yes. The haynet mesh does not absorb water which makes it lighter for lifting soaked hay and less prone to smelly bacteria forming.

Traditional nets are believed to cause damage to horses’ teeth with the knots. Being knotless, the horse can grab at the forage with less chance of grabbing the net as well. This also means that the net can potentially save money in the long-term by lasting longer.

We found in testing that smaller than 3cm mesh sizes made very little difference to the feed rate, and made some horses display frustration behaviours, and some even stopped trying to eat from the hay net. We found the 3cm is the perfect size to balance this reduction in feed rate, without frustrating the horse.

While horses do spend a lot of time grazing, they do also like to pick from hedges or trees and move around. Standing to eat from a haynet in one place for multiple hours isn’t ideal for their mental or physical health, however sometimes it is a balancing act with other considerations (their weight, how quickly they eat, if they drag forage into the bed and ingest shavings as a result). There are things you can do to mitigate the negative impact this could have on your horse. Read our article here on feeding at variable heights to help keep your horse more physically mobile and engaged in the stable, while feeding from hay nets.

In our initial pilot study, we trialled a net with 10cm mesh holes. Initial results suggested the feed rate was very similar to that of the 6cm holed net, but bigger holes could pose a bigger safety risk. We opted for the smaller size to reduce this potential risk, yet not impact feed rate significantly.
