Propress Equine Launch New HAYGAIN HG-500

NEW from Propress Equine: the HAYGAIN HG-500 half-bale hay steamer.

This new, compact unit featuring HAYGAIN’s revolutionary hay-steaming technology transforms hay into dust-free palatable forage, giving horses a healthier respiratory system and maximising their performance.

 

The HG-500 accommodates half a bale, hay nets or hay wedges and is ideal for smaller yards and for use away at competitions. The unit is extremely durable, compact and easy to move around, whether in use at the stables or whilst travelling.

Hay is undoubtedly the ideal forage for horses. Its only flaw is the dust spores which can cause respiratory problems - remove the spores and you have the perfect forage for any horse. HAYGAIN’s unique and scientifically proven steaming method provides the complete solution, steaming the hay at the high temperatures necessary to destroy all dust spores, mites, bacteria and mould found in hay.

Easy to use, the HG-500 unit with its unique design and function enables the steam to penetrate the centre of the half-bale, hay nets or wedges, diffusing evenly and completely outwards, and ensuring the hay is steamed effectively in approximately 40 minutes from cold.

The steamed hay will retain its nutritional goodness, and trials have shown that horses - even fussy eaters - love it because of its sweet smell and palatability.

The HG-500 includes a built-in thermometer and commercially-rated 7-litre steam generator with a powerful 230v/2.75Kw heating element to ensure accuracy and effectiveness during the steaming process. All fittings are either stainless steel or solid brass.

The experts at Propress Equine combine a wealth of equestrian knowledge in their quest to ensure that high-quality dust-free forage is available for every horse. All HAYGAIN hay steamers are created and manufactured in the UK.

Specialists at Propress Equine have developed the HG-500 to a very high standard, using scientific research, testing and development conducted at the Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester. Led by Dr Meriel Moore-Colyer, the leading equine nutrition expert, the research found that hay treated with the HAYGAIN method destroys all mould and spores present, in effect sterilizing the hay.

Findings prove that one gram of untreated hay will contain around 7.75 million spores - steaming with HAYGAIN reduces that number to virtually 0!
