All horses need a healthy respiratory system to perform to their maximum ability.

Dust and fungal spores naturally found in hay compromise this.

The Propress Equine HAYGAIN hay steamer completely solves the problem ..... simply.

Over 1 in 6 horses suffer from breathing problems which severely affect their performance and health. In addition, 80% of horses stabled part of the time will have some degree of airway inflammation even if there are no obvious signs and are asymptomatic; this will still hinder their performance. This can be minimised by ensuring the stable is well ventilated, using dust-free bedding and now HAYGAIN-steamed dust-free hay.

The principle of steaming hay is not new; both PROPRESS and Dr Moore-Colyer independently researched the concept in the early 1990s, but with the HAYGAIN hay steamers for the first time you can now steam at temperatures that will not only dampen down the spores, as with soaking and other steaming methods, but actually kill them.

Propress has used their extensive experience and knowledge to design these fit-for-purpose hay steamers giving you the opportunity to improve your horse's performance to meet your expectations.

HAYGAIN'S unique function and design has been researched and substantiated through extensive controlled laboratory tests at The Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester, together with comprehensive field trials at leading racing establishments and yards from a number of different disciplines. These further endorse and confirm Propress Equine's breakthrough development.

The result is a scientifically proven product that outperforms all other treatments enabling you to feed dust and spore free, nutritional and palatable hay regardless of original hygiene quality.

A healthy respiratory system will allow your horse to perform to its maximum ability.

The HAYGAIN hay steamers are the indispensable partner.

RESEARCH CONFIRMATION - HAYGAIN kills Aspergillus From the outset the objectives of Propress Equine have been clear, we are a science led company, developing and then launching products which have been extensively tested and proven with the horse as the prime beneficiary. Our commitment to the scientific research continues, we have several projects under way which will contribute to the global understanding of this complex problem and the best way to overcome it. We are delighted to be able to tell you about the latest results that have just come in. The Irish Equine Centre have completed independent tests on hay using both models of Haygain hay steamers. The results show that HAYGAIN’s unique patented method is extremely effective at killing spores and both the HG 500( Half bale) and HG 1000(fully strung bale) units tested, completely killed Aspergillus. With Aspergillus being recognized as the most harmful fungi for horses respiratory health, this is really good news for trainers and horse owners alike. Our summers are getting wetter and hay has shown increased levels of harmful spores in recent years. Tom Buckley, Head of Microbiology at the Irish Equine Centre, made the following conclusion: “ Both of the Haygain hay steamers were very effective at reducing mould counts in hay which was known to be of poor quality. In all cases the mould counts were reduced in all sites.” “Aspergillus is one of the main causes of RAO, EIPH, immune suppression and poor performance in racehorses. It is also however, heat sensitive and so is greatly reduced using Haygain hay steamers .”
