Check One Item On The Chore List With Automatic Horse Feed Dispensers

By Carl Roberts


There are many chores that come with managing a stable of equine species. One has to feed them and water them. The bedding has to be cleaned out. One also has to inspect the animals for possible signs of illness or injury. There is also the required amount of exercise each day. These chores can leave one feeling tired and worn out. Would it not be nice to get help on at least one chore? Enter stage left, automatic horse feed dispensers. It is a machine that releases feed to the steed on a set timer. The machine can be mounted or propped up on its own.

Time is always a limiting factor for busy people like stable owners. With some time freed up, others chores can be done in less of a hurry. Feeding time still requires human presence but not in an active capacity. One can also save money on hiring extra hands to handle feeding times.

Steed benefits most from small but frequent meals. The meals have to be kept consistent. They have to be a balance of roughage and grain. The machines allow one to program timings. This machine sticks to a schedule that might be hard for a human to maintain. It works like clockwork.

Colic and gastric ulcers in equines can be caused by drastic changes in feeding times and stress. Keeping to a schedule solves both of those problems, therefore, reducing incidences of these gastrointestinal issues. The small meals allow for proper digestion. Overall, the health of the animal is improved significantly by copying a natural grazing environment.

The trick to running a successful stable is keeping all the incidental costs at a minimum. Costs that arise due to wastage, for example. Using this machine reduces wastage by a significant margin therefore positively affecting the bottom-line. Wastage can be reduced by up to 30%. The animals also experience improved weight gain, which is always a good thing.

The decision has been made to buy a machine, what comes next? The next thing is to know what to look for in a machine. A machine should hold more than just enough food. If possible, it should have additional contraptions to hold more food. This storage is tapped into when the person responsible is not immediately available to fill it up. As said before, stables come with many responsibilities.

One should pay close attention to the material of the machine. The machine should be weatherproof. Most machines are made to fit internal and external feeding spots. The forage should not be moldy or dusty. The machine should not allow these conditions to prevail. It should be water and dust tight. The external shell should be durable and impact resistant. Horses are animals after all. Bumping into the machines should not render them useless.

All buying decisions are important. The decision to buy anything should not be made in haste or blindly. This goes against the rules of economics. One should take time to research every machine on the market. Different brands offer different features. The machine chosen should hold all the desired features.
