[TAMWORTH, 12/02/2019] — Rapid Plas, a provider of livestock feeding solutions, understands the importance of a feeding regimen to keep livestock, especially horses, healthy. For over 25 years, the company has been providing farmers all over Australia with animal care products that are designed and manufactured to be sturdy, durable, and convenient.

The Importance of Hay Feeders

Horses are slow feeders by nature. Their biology requires them to continuously eat small amounts of food, particularly forage, in order to offset their stomach’s constant production of hydrochloric acid. To avoid gastrointestinal problems, hay feeders can be used to regulate the amount of food they eat throughout the day.

Rapid Plas has hay feeders that can help farmers control their horses’ diets which result in the animals learning how to regulate their eating habits. These feeders are designed to accommodate generous amounts of forage without the risk of overfeeding. There is a lid that prevents the horse from pulling the biscuit of hay out of the feeder. In addition to this, there is a bin that keeps the feed from falling to the ground. Galvanised brackets are attached to the zinc-plated hay compartment frame to ensure the feeder’s durability even with constant use.

Equine Nutrition

Giving livestock continuous access to a food source prevents common gastrointestinal problems that can trigger harmful behavioural problems such as aggression. However, overfeeding results in obesity and other health problems that can affect their performance. A smartly-designed feeder gives horses the daily forage intake they need to remain healthy. This easy access to their food also influences them to be more calm and relaxed.

Rapid Plas took equine nutrition and behaviour into consideration in designing its feeders. This was done to provide farmers with the feeding solution they need in taking proper care for their horses.
