Derby Originals Quik-Fil 48” Slow Feed Poly Rope Hanging Hay Net with 2x2” Holes

Hand-Tied Construction This hay net was tied by hand, so the hole size may vary slightly. The average hole size for this net is approx. 2x2”, which is the most commonly used and recommended opening size for slow-feeding the average horse. This size net opening will prevent excess hay wastage, while slowing down your horse’s feeding rate to a more natural, grazing-style pace. This size hay net is rated for use with any type of hay. For smaller horses and livestock animals, a smaller hole size may be necessary if the animals are able to pull hay too quickly from this style of net. UV, Mold, and Mildew Resistant This world class Derby Originals hay net is made from a polyester rope that is extremely resistant to damage from UV rays, or mold and mildew. These hay nets have been tested in wet and damp conditions and have held up strong, with no damage or smell, even when hay was left to completely rot in them. These hay nets are great for those who have to soak their animal’s hay, for all-season use, or use outside in the pasture.

• PREVENTS HAY WASTAGE - these slow-feed hay nets keep your hay off the ground to reduce waste and prevent spoilage. This results in cleaner hay that is utilized more efficiently, which is beneficial to your horse's health as well as your wallet!
• IMPROVES DIGESTION - our hay nets allow for slow feeding, which mimics natural grazing patterns and is proven to aid the digestive process. Slow feeding is recommended by veterinarians to prevent gastric ulcers and colic.
• HOLDS APPROX. 5-7 FLAKES - this slow feed hay net can hold about 5-7 flakes or up to a half of a 2-string or square bale of hay. These hay nets are great for everyday feeding and can be used in stalls, trailers, and pastures.
• REDUCES BOREDOM - horses are designed to spend up to 16 hours a day grazing. Slow feeding replicates this natural behavior and keeps your horse occupied longer, which helps to prevent boredom-based bad behaviors such as chewing, cribbing, and pacing.
• EXCLUSIVE QUIK-FIL DESIGN - this hay net has a flexible rope ring sewn into the body of the hay net which keeps the top of the net open and easily accessible during filling. This added rope ring makes feeding a breeze compared to standard hay nets.
