When hay is freely accessible, animals can eat quickly and loose hay can fall to the ground. This round bale feeder is made for slowing access while keeping hay gathered around the bale, including for group feeding. Its knotless design and the guidance for use with a hay ring help buyers plan a setup that accounts for animals’ teeth, gums, and gear.

How does the net change hay feeding?

The 1.5-inch openings restrict how quickly animals can pull hay through, making this a slow-feed net for round bales. Martx states that this feeding design reduces hay waste by 80%–90% by slowing feeding and helping keep hay from falling to the ground. The smooth, knotless construction is designed to protect teeth and gums and reduce the risk of injuries associated with knotted nets.

• Made from high-strength polyester fiber.
• Helps limit hay loss from feeding around a bale.

Which animals and feeding setup is it made for?

For horse safety, do not allow horses wearing horseshoes to come into direct contact with the net without protection; the net is also intended to help reduce the risk of shoes, boots, or breakaway halters catching.

• Round-bale format for shared access to hay.
• Hang or secure the net for feeding.
