Are the hay consumption rates much different when using a GutzBusta® Hay Net?

Yes, using our hay net will significantly reduce the rate at which your horses and livestock go through a round bale of hay.  There is no hard and fast rule for how slowly or quickly your horse or livestock will go through a bale.  It depends on many factors such as palatability of the hay (sweet hay or lucerne will be eaten quicker than pasture hay), amount of horses/livestock on the bale, stalkiness or fineness of the hay, etc.  Time of year and weather also will give varying consumption rates as during cold weather horses and livestock will consume much more fibre to warm themselves up from the inside out.  As the old timers say, 'A feed is as good as a rug'.

Our customers come back very happy with the slowed consumption rates. One lady said she went from using a round bale every 5 days, to using one every 2 1/2 weeks.  This quickly adds up to savings with both wastage and money.
