The Forager ensures horses on a diet can have constant access to forage while not being able to over eat or gorge.
The design of The Forager Regulators ensures small bites of forage are taken on each mouthful. Compared to loose hay, The Forager can significantly increase the feeding time. See chart below for the comparison research.
It's well known that a healthy digestive system requires constant access to forage however this is not always easy when a horse needs to be on a diet. The Forager provides the right balance of ensuring forage is constantly supplied to the stomach while preventing horses from over-eating or gorging.
Forage restriction can create a hormonal fat-storing response - when forage is given in small amounts intermittently the horse will store more fat as it resorts to survival mode. This can lead to obesity.
