Farmco HF "Slow Feed"

The Farmco HF Series "Slow-Feed" is a "Slow-Feed" Covered Hay Feeder. Slow feeding is recognized as the healthiest method for providing hay to horses. By mimicking natural grazing behavior, slow feeding ensures a consistent supply of fibrous nutrition, crucial for maintaining equine digestive health. And with the right slow hay feeder you can significantly reduce feed costs by virtually eliminating hay waste. With our HF Series, we've developed hay slow feeders capable of accommodating groups of 8-10 horses. These innovative slow hay feeders allow for the feeding of entire large round and large square bales, drastically reducing labor. Our design incorporates net panels that simplify the transition from loading to feeding—once the bale is loaded, the panels lay down against it, enabling horses to begin their meal effortlessly. The net panel comes standard with 2-1/2” holes. To further minimize hay waste and safeguard horses against potential mold exposure, our slow hay horse feeders feature a 29-gauge metal roof that shields half-eaten bales from rain. Additionally, 8 drain holes effectively remove any moisture that may enter the trough. The HF Series slow hay feeder quickly pays for itself through hay savings, typically within 24 months, making it a smart investment for equine health and cost efficiency.
