Improving horse welfare with automatic feedingsystem

Published on 30 June 2024 at 11:26

We are continuously striving for improvement and maintaining the highest animal welfare standards. That's why the Horse Care automatic horse feeder was installed today at our stables.

The horse is predominantly a grazing animal, designed to eat small amounts, frequently. Studies have shown that by nature horses while awake eat nearly constantly and that by their steady ingestion of small amounts of food, gastro-intestinal problems such as ulcers and colic are less likely.

The Horse Care automatic horse feeders are programmable to provide small, frequent, regularly-timed feedings which more closely mimic the natural way a horse eats, and thus can contribute to a horse's health.

Please be aware:

  • Nothing can or should ever take the place of human element in horse care.
  • regular inspection and cleaning of an automatic feeder is important.
