What is the rumen?

Every bale counts, especially during a Canadian winter. With hay being a major feeding expense, reducing wastage can make a real difference to your bottom line.

Hay fed on the ground or through inefficient feeders can be trampled, contaminated, or exposed to the weather. The right hay feeder could reduce hay wastage by up to 30%, helping you get more value from every bale.

How Hay Feeders Reduce Waste

Advantage Feeders help livestock producers make better use of their hay through:

  • Hay containment: Keeping hay inside the feeder rather than scattered on the ground.
  • Waste-catching trays: Catching loose hay that would otherwise be lost.
  • Weather protection: Roof options help shield hay from rain and snow.
  • Controlled access: Adjustable feeding systems help limit hay being pulled out and trampled.

The result? Less wasted feed and more efficient feeding.

What Could Hay Wastage Be Costing You?

Consider a Canadian livestock operation feeding 200 round hay bales over winter, valued at $100 CAD each.

  • Total hay value: $20,000
  • Hay wasted at 30%: 60 bales
  • Value of wasted hay: $6,000

That’s $6,000 worth of feed lost in one season.

A well-designed hay feeder can help recover some of that value by reducing wastage, keeping more hay available for your livestock.
