GM8 STAND FOR HAY SOAKER HEAVY DUTY PLASTIC

Product Information

Because it’s water-based, this paint will also never yellow with age, making it a perfect paint for any areas that might not get a lot of sunlight, such as skirting boards behind furniture and the inside of cupboards. When the main flow has ceased, use the rope which is already through the tie-ring to heave the net up out of the bin to drain further. Top Spec told me that it needs soaking for a minimum of 30 minutes to start to lose the sugars but preferably overnight. From portable to heavy sturdy step blocks such as the 1-step to the gigantic 4-step mounting block, all low in maintenance and easy to use.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. If the NSC of your hay exceeds 12%, soaking it in cold water for 30 minutes prior to feeding will lower the sugar content. Hay expands as it soaks, and a heavy item will cause the hay to become too compressed within the container.While there’s an impressive range of neutrals and pastels, you can also find this satinwood paint in everything from rich, dark reds to bold, bright blues, making it perfect for those looking to create a unique and vibrant space.

Take it into your feed room, pour 2 kettles of boiling water on the wet hay and cover it with plastic sacks and a thick towel, leave it till it's cooled a bit before you feed it, 20 mins or so. While it’s most commonly found in only one or two shades of white, some brands offer a wider range of colours, giving you the option to truly personalise your space. So for best results, leave for a few minutes longer and tip again before replacing the cap and feeding. You can also use Eazigrazer as a hay soaker if you wish, making light work of a job you would probably rather do without!

You need quite a lot of water compared to hay otherwise the water becomes saturated too quickly and cannot soak out any more. I think we've cracked it, one of the ponies started with a cough when the weather turned cold, it went on for a few weeks and we started soaking his haynets in a water butt for an hour or two then hanging them out to drain. Studies have shown that while crude protein levels aren’t lowered, Phosphorus and Magnesium concentrations are with longer soaking times (more than an hour).

I've heard it's better to soak nets in a bath, as the sides are lower and you can pull the plug out to drain, but I don't have a bath. Jennifer has owned horses for over 28 years and has dealt with managing health issues like COPD/Heaves and Founder/Laminitis both ailments required soaking hay. You do need to renew the water for each new load of hay to avoid fermentation starting especially in warmer weather. Barrow it into the stable, position it underneath the hay-net tie ring and use the rope again in a pulley system to heave it up again with ease, and tie it off securely.

Now position the dustbin ( you may need to use three or four bricks ) above the drain, and fit a tie ring above it, at height you can reach reasonably easily. But it's not just the sugar content that you want to reduce, soaking also removes some of the protein, but that takes longer to leach out. Always make sure you soak in loads of water ideally only 2 small nets per bath full, otherwise the concentration of sugars in the soaking water will be too high.
