Animals require feed for survival. Legumes and herbaceous plants are used to feed livestock and when harvested and dried, they form hay that is more suitable for livestock to feed on. Feeding livestock can be done in numerous ways. One of the best ways of feeding your livestock is by using feeding nets such as round bale hay net. People using this method to feed their livestock usually enjoy a number of merits.

Using these structures actually guarantees continuous supply of fodder for your livestock at all time. At times, when the weather conditions are hostile, fodder is usually scarce and one needs to manage the use of the available hay wisely. This may be done with the use of feeding nets that control wastage and rate at which your animals feed thus prolonging the hay longevity.

Use of this structure to feed your livestock ensures that you minimize wastage of hay. Animals that feed without these items are likely to waste much hay. The wastage occurs from the animals stomping on the hay, sleeping on it, pulling it apart as well as hay being blown away in the wind. In the case where feeding is done on nets, wastage occurring from these ways is controlled.

Nets feeding will help maximize the duration in which your animals consume hay. This ensures that each bale would last longer than usual as these structures are used to control the amount if fodder an animal grabs each time. Some type of hay such as those made from rye grass are sweeter compared to normal grass and animals will tend to consume it fast. The bale of rye grass would probably last for shorter duration than that of normal grass. To ensure that livestock consume these palatable hay at normal rate, feeding nets can be used because animals would always grab small amounts each time.

Some greedy livestock are likely to be chocked or develop stomach ulcers or boredom vices when feeding. To avoid such cases, their feeding habits need to be curbed and this may be done effectively by use of round bale feeding net. For this reason, this facility will ensure that the animal grabs small amount of fodder and reduce the rate at which they consume the fodder.

The mode of feeding is good for slowing down greedy and overweight livestock. This is achieved by the nets controlling the rate at which the animals feed and the amount of hay that an animal can grab at a time. It also provides constant forage for the underweight livestock by creating a more natural feeding environment of being able to graze out at the field where they have to tear the grass from the ground.

Because of controlled wastage and feeding rate of the animals, the bale is likely to last long. This greatly helps to reduce labour because an individual does not have to put bales often. Time wastage that could result due to frequent service of bales is as well minimized.

At other times, the fodder that the livestock feeds need to be controlled especially when they are experiencing health defects or at some certain weather conditions. At cold weather conditions, livestock requires more of fibre feed therefore the need for controlled feeding of the animals. This can be achieved by use of these bale hay nets that actually are best for controlled feeding habits.
