At Classic Equine Equipment, we’re proud to now offer the iFeed feeder. This feeder, designed for horses, has the potential to improve your horses’ health while freeing up your schedule and saving you money. How? Let’s take a look at iFeed and its many benefits for you as a horse owner.

The Basics of the iFeed Feeder

The iFeed is an automatic feed dispenser which can be positioned to feed your horse in his stall or in his pasture. This feeder is powered by a safe 24 volt power supply. The iFeed is manufactured in Denmark and is crafted from durable polypropylene plastic and stainless steel, ensuring that this feeder will last. This feeder also comes with a 2 year limited warranty.

The iFeed is designed to dispense rolled, ground, whole grains and other concentrated feed. Feed should be ¼” thick and ¾” long for accuracy and functionality. The iFeed is capable of feeding a horse between 1 and 720 portions within 24 hours. You can control when, how often, and how much your horse eats.

What iFeed Can Do For You

iFeed can provide your horse with frequent meals throughout the day without requiring you to be present to do the feeding. This feeder can free up your schedule, especially for high-maintenance horses who require many meals each day.With iFeed, you can rest assured that your horses are receiving their meals at the correct times, and that they are also getting the correct amount of food.

By feeding your horse smaller meals throughout the course of the day, your horse’s diet more closely resembles the way that he would eat in the wild. Horses are grazers, and by feeding them two or three large meals of concentrated grain, we’ve changed their eating style. Unfortunately, what is convenient for us can create physical issues for the horse – colic, choke, and poor nutrient absorption can all occur from this “bulk feeding” style.

With iFeed, your horse is able to eat as he normally would – grazing and taking in grain in small increments. This helps to reduce the chance of your horse colicking from a large meal, and because he is presented with smaller amounts of feed, it is less likely that he can bolt down enough feed to choke. By splitting meals up into smaller portions, you allow your horse to more fully digest the feed and retain more nutrients out of it. Additionally, with small amounts of feed continuously moving through his system, your horse’s risk of developing ulcers will also be reduced. These frequent meals can also help to reduce boredom and stress in your horse.

As you can see, there are countless reasons to consider iFeed for your barn. Please give us a call; we’d love to discuss this great product with you.
