Is It True That A Slow Feeder Can Help My Horse With Ulcer, Colic, Boredom and Digestive Issues?
Yes... horses were designed with a very small stomach so that they could eat small meals continously throughout the day. Stalling your horse and feeding only 2 times a day can contribute to ulcers, colic and many digestive issues. Helping your horse to eat small meals continously will support greater gastric or digestive health- thus resulting in lower vet bills and better performance for your horse!
Yes! Horses that are insulin resistant need continuous small meals to keep their insulin levels in check. Feeding every 12 hours ensures that your horse's insulin levels will skyrocket once they are finally fed! Feeding quality hay higher in protein and lower in starch over a long period of time with a slow feeder helps the horse to regulate their own insulin levels!
Our Slow Feeder Saver is designed to give Equine the healthiest and most natural eating experience possible regardless of them being stalled or stabled. The small grate holes prevent horses from wasting feed by consuming it to quickly or spreading it out on the ground by forcing them to take small bites. This also has the added benefit of keeping them occupied longer reducing boredom, which can lead to cribbing and poor temperament.
Slow Feeding is proven to improve the digestive process, which leads to better overall Equine health.Places the horse in a natural anatomic feeding position producing better conformation and less stress on their joints. The solid Poly bottom ensures the animal isn't eating off the ground dramatically reducing the possibility of colic. Horses by nature are grazing animals with digestive systems evolved to process food in small portions up to 16 hours per day. In today's world many horses are stabled, kept in barns or don't have an adequate pasture to graze upon and natural grazing simply isn't an option. Many veterinarian visits such as ulcers, colic, weight issues and Copd are direct results of how horses are fed. The Slow Feeder Saver can help eliminate these costly vet visits! With current hay prices the Slow Feeder Saver can pay for itself in less than a year by eliminating feed waste!
Note: High Country Plastics also makes a beautiful 40" Corner Feeder (shown in photo above) that offers containment for your hay and grain-- this is not a slow feeder.
The Slow Feeder Saver can be found in top catalogs like ValleyVet, State Line Tack, SmartPakEquine, Schneiders Saddlery and more starting at only $189.95. You'll love the savings, your horse will love the chance to happily munch for hours and your pocket book will love the savings on hay and vet bills! Get your Slow Feeder Saver today!
