Hay Racks

Optimal feeding solutions for your stable needs

Hay racks are an essential part of managing your stable efficiently, ensuring your horses and other animals have access to clean and organized feeding options. Within Agradi's assortment, you’ll find a variety of designs tailored to different needs. Many models offer features such as wall-mounted setups, compact sizes, or slow feeder designs, helping you optimize space and reduce hay waste. These racks often incorporate durable materials like galvanized or zinc-coated metal, which are known for their resistance to rust and wear, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Whether you’re looking for a solution for a single horse or a larger group of animals, hay racks provide a practical way to keep feeding areas tidy while promoting healthier eating habits.

Enhance animal health with slow feeding designs

Slow feeding hay racks are popular for their ability to improve digestion and reduce stress in animals. By controlling the pace at which your horse consumes hay, these racks mimic natural grazing patterns, which can help prevent common health issues like colic or ulcers. Many slow feeder designs include adjustable spijlafstand (bar spacing) to cater to different animal sizes and feeding behaviors. This feature is particularly beneficial for horses, as it encourages thorough chewing and minimizes dust inhalation. Additionally, slow feeding racks often help reduce hay waste, saving you money in the long run. For those managing mixed stables, certain models are versatile enough to accommodate other animals like pigs or cattle, making them a valuable addition to multi-animal setups.

Space-saving and durable wall-mounted options

Wall-mounted hay racks are a practical choice for stables where space is limited. These racks can be securely attached to walls, ensuring they remain stable even in busy environments. Many designs within Agradi’s range are compact yet robust, often featuring galvanized or zinc-coated finishes for added durability. This makes them suitable for outdoor use, as they resist rust and wear caused by exposure to the elements. Wall-mounted racks are also easy to refill, with some models offering front or rear access for added convenience. Whether you need a solution for a small stable or a larger facility, these racks help you maximize space while maintaining a clean and organized feeding area.

Reduce waste with efficient hay racks

Hay waste can be a significant issue in stables, leading to unnecessary costs and mess. Efficient hay racks are designed to minimize this problem by keeping hay securely in place and preventing it from being scattered or trampled. Features like small spijlafstand or integrated feeding nets are common in many models, ensuring animals can access their feed without excessive loss. Some racks are even designed to accommodate different hay bale shapes, such as round or rectangular, making them versatile for various feeding setups. By investing in a well-designed hay rack, you not only save on feed costs but also create a cleaner and more sustainable environment for your animals.
