JFC Gate Hay Feeder: The Ultimate Solution for Efficient and Clean Forage Feeding
Introduce the JFC Gate Hay Feeder to your stable or field shelter—an innovative, practical solution designed to minimise hay wastage, improve hygiene, and simplify the feeding process for horses and livestock. This versatile feeder easily hooks over gates or rails, offering a secure, ground-level feeding option that keeps hay off the floor and out of the dirt.
Key Features & Benefits for Forage Management:
The JFC Gate Hay Feeder is built using the same robust polyethylene as all JFC products, ensuring safety, durability, and a long service life in demanding environments.
- Minimises Hay Waste: By keeping hay contained and elevated off the stable or paddock floor, this feeder significantly reduces hay wastage caused by trampling, fouling, or contamination with bedding and mud.
- Built-in Trough: Features an integrated, deep trough at the base designed to catch hay seeds, chaff, and smaller pieces of hay, allowing the animal to consume them rather than them being lost to the floor. This also makes it suitable for feeding small amounts of hard feed or supplements.
- Robust & Safe Construction: Manufactured from tough, impact-resistant, medium-density polyethylene (MDPE) with smooth, rounded edges, ensuring maximum safety for the animal and resistance to biting or impact.
- Versatile Hook Design: The unique back design features strong, recessed hooks that securely fit over standard stable doors, field gates, and rails (up to a certain width—e.g., 50mm/2 inches), offering flexible placement options.
- Easy to Clean & Hygienic: The smooth, seamless surface is non-porous and resists the build-up of bacteria and mould, allowing for quick washing down and maintaining high standards of hygiene.
Ideal Applications:
The JFC Gate Hay Feeder is perfectly suited for various settings:
- Stables: Offers a clean, high-capacity hay solution when hay nets are not desired or practical.
- Field Shelters: Keeps forage dry and clean, particularly useful in wet conditions.
- Quarantine/Isolation Pens: The easy-to-clean design is ideal for maintaining strict hygiene protocols.
Calf/Sheep Pens: Can be used to provide forage efficiently to other livestock types.
