Burgess Excel Feeding Hay with Dandelion and Marigold 1kg

Product Information

Avoid cheap bedding hay, which has poor nutritional value. Instead, go for deliciously nutritious dust-free hay for guinea pigs such as Timothy Hay, Meadow Hay, Green Harvest Hay, Hay with Dandelion & Marigold or Hay with Hedgerow Herbs – all nutrient-rich options that have been grown and harvested specifically as feeding hay. These nets and bags pose another issue, though: A horse can get a leg caught in a net or bag and injure itself. If you are using one, tie it high and tight enough that the horse cannot yank it down and is unlikely to reach it with its hooves. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use (-18 °C to +30 °C), this feeder is available with interchangeable feeding discs with holes of 70mm and 90mm. It has a watertight bung for soaking and draining hay, plus four fixing points that mean you can secure it to a fence post or stable wall.

If your hay comes in a cardboard box, you can keep it in the box, providing you store it indoors where it is dry. If you do store it in an outdoor shed in its cardboard box, make sure it is well sealed, so nothing can get in, and that it is not likely to get damp. Recommended products Feeding round bales requires the use of a tractor or a well-planned means of situating bales so you can roll them where you need them. 2. Hay Feeder There are actually three different types of hay, namely grass hay, legume hay, and mixed hay. You may hear some people calling grass hay “meadow hay” as it’s usually made from meadow grass. Legume hay, on the other hand, is usually made from red or crimson clover.

Burgess Excel feeding hay comes in a choice of fully recyclable cardboard boxes or easy-open bags – both of which will keep each batch of hay fresh until it’s all been eaten up. Why not mix and match to see what varieties your buns like best ?

My horse requires some special management to keep him comfortable due to an underlying condition. Should I be feeding him forage in a certain way to aid his treatment? The fundamental difference between hay and haylage is the way that the grass is conserved. Hay is cut when grass is mature and left to dry in the field before being baled and stored. To conserve hay and prevent it from spoiling or going mouldy, the grass needs to be sufficiently dry before baling. Typically hay will be 85% or above dry matter which relies on good weather conditions to achieve – not always easy in the UK! Hay of insufficient dry matter will not store well and will be very likely to go mouldy making it unsuitable to feed. While you may not be able to provide your good-doer ad-lib forage in the usual sense, it’s possible to make up for this by feeding little and often so he’s rarely left standing idle. Using double haynets can also slow him down, ensuring a steady intake of smaller amounts of forage. Keep it natural while nurturingHaylage is pretty much completely dust-free forage, so it’s perfect for horses that have respiratory problems. Measuring your forage quality allows you to target nutritional goals more effectively by matching forages to animal requirements. This targeted approach improves efficiency and gives insight into the need for supplementation. Work with your nutritionist to develop the most efficient system. Apart from the nutritional value, there are a couple of important reasons why hay is vital for guinea pigs. You can safely transition your guinea pigs’ diet over a period of 7-10 days by gradually reducing the old food and replacing it with Burgess Excel guinea pig food. The same goes for beef cattle: the best way to feed beef cattle is probably with a raised cattle feeder.
