Haygain Hay Steamers

Haygain hay steamers, new and pre-owned. Part-exchange considered.

Haygain Hay Steamers are scientifically proven to eliminate 99% of dust, mould spores and bacteria reducing airway inflammation without loss of nutritional value and palatability of the hay.

Sturdy and robust, a Haygain will last many years if you look after it and improve both your and your horses respiratory health.

To help with feeding, why not try a Haygain Forager – a  slow feeder which allows the horse to eat in a natural grazing position while regulating the pace at which it eats, without causing frustration. The Forager helps manage your horse’s weight and reduces the risk of ulcers, colic, and stable vices.

  • I have been soaking my hay - is this helping? 

    • In a word, no. In fact, making hay soup is actually doing more harm than good, as sitting in the water many of the harmful bacteria, mould and other allergens will in fact be in better conditions to multiply rather than be killed and removed by Haygain steaming, so you are really not helping with any respiratory issues. Plus, what do you do with all that dirty water afterwards?

  • I have a bin and a wallpaper stripper steamer - isn't this the same? 

    • Again, in a word, no. Just like the answer above, if you warm but don't get to the critical 100 degrees + needed to actually kill off moulds and bacteria, you are doing more harm than good, and possibly harming your horses health. A Haygain unit has a thermally insulated hay chest and an industrial sized, powerful boiler unit which allows temperatures to reach over 100°C – vital for killing mould spores and bacteria in the hay. Swap now and you too will see how this is a purpose built hay steamer which really does the job, and your horse will thank you for it too.

  • What size Haygain do I need? 

    • The HG600 feeds 1-3 horses and holds up to 15kg of forage either in a haynet or loose wedges (the equivalent of half a bale of hay or up to 15kg of loose hay or haynets)The HG2000 feeds 4+ horses and holds up to 35-40kg of loose hay/haylage or a fully strung bale.Don't worry if you steam too much in one go, as it retains the benefits of quality steaming for 24 hours as long as it is kept dust free - just keep it inside the closed Haygain.
