for processing hay bales into dust-free and disinfected feed for horses
Located for easy hay bale delivery.
Bales are loaded into equipment that prepares hay for consumption for several animals at once
Prepares hay for multiple animals at once.
Equipment is located in a place in the stables that is accessible for a transport to deliver large hay bales
Reduces dust levels and amount of harmful microorganisms (mold, bacteria, etc.) due to steam treatment and bactericidal lamp.
During steam treatment, hay is saturated with moisture. The platform allows for adjustment of the moisture level depending on the condition of hay (a higher level of moisture saturation could be set for excessively dry hay).
It is easier for horses to chew chopped hay and to take it from a feeder or net. If the stems are chopped they don’t cling to one another, so hay doesn’t wind up on the ground. The amount of hay that is wasted is significantly reduced and savings reach up to 20% of the total volume of the bale.
1) Unprocessed hay can often be dusty and this dust can be spread around the stall as the horse pulls out a portion of hay from the feeder or net. 2) Unchopped hay does not fit well in the horses jaws, so it falls on the ground and pollutes the stall.
The equipment replaces and complements the processes done by the Stud Hands. For example, the platform distributes hay saving up to 2 hours a day on splitting the bale.
The platform collects data on processed hay. This makes it possible to analyse the initial condition of hay, how it has changed and what could potentially lead to it.
The hay quality improves after steam and a bactericidal lamp treatment. Use of chopped hay has a positive impact on the horse's digestive system.
The equipment is designed to be easy to clean:
Installation of the equipment is carried out by the EHOSS specialists or our regional partners. If the needed specialists are at your stable, we will consult you and help to install the equipment remotely.
To install the platform, you need a power connection, access to water, and tools to install our products.
All elements of the feed platform collect and process data. The owner can access it using an interactive monitor placed directly in the room where the equipment is installed, or via a mobile application/personal account.
Forage Platform can work independently or in conjunction with other platforms of the EHOSS ecosystem.
