Discover the benefits of portion controlled feeding:
Promote natural grazing patterns
Schedule feeding 24 hrs a day 7 days a week for every individual horse. Natural grazing cycles promote calmness, reduce boredom and improve overall well being.
Maintain consistent glucose and carbohydrate levels
Round the clock feeding provides small meals to keep the digestive system continuously processing and avoiding glucose spikes.
Less labour demand
Smaller portions results in less waste. Daily intervention to top up forage or concentrates is not necessary thanks to the large storage capacity. This reduces work pressure and manual labour for staff.
The challenges of classic box housing
The call for better horse welfare in the form of free movement and social contact with other horses has never been greater.
Feeding requirements that mimic natural behaviour is often overlooked and the labour required to accurately fulfil this demand is high.
However, high levels of personal commitment is often no longer achieved in practice or is no longer affordable.
