"Allergy horses have shown success with
reduced clinical signs and decreased medical management from previous
years and the only change in their treatment plan has been a HAYGAIN
unit.
- Dr. Nathan Slovis, Hagyard Equine Medical Institute of Lexington, KY
“I use the HAYGAIN system
here at the Hagyard Equine Medical Institute on most of my respiratory
cases including steaming the bedding before we place it in the stall.
So far for respiratory cases, I think HAYGAIN is a no brainer and can
definitely help reduce the amount of inhaled allergens and particulate
matter.”
- Diana Burnett, International Event Rider and 2008 Canadian Olympic Team Alternate
"I am extremely impressed with our HAYGAIN
system and the difference it makes in our barn. It is compact, clean,
and easy to use. I have noticed significant improvements in hay
consumption from our picky eaters and I love the elimination of dust
and spores from their diet. Prior to using the HAYGAIN system there
were two horses in my barn that coughed on a consistent basis. Since
we have started using HAYGAIN, both cases have been eliminated. I
highly recommend the HAYGAIN system to anyone who wants the most out of
their team. I feel it is important to feed clean, safe hay and HAYGAIN
insures that we do this."
- Bonnie Mosser, International Event Rider, Trainer and Clinician
"My CCI**** horse, Merloch, is
an extreme athlete with some pretty extreme ideas about what he does
and does not like to eat. During his "down" times he's a pretty easy
keeper who cleans up most of his hay and empties his dinner bucket. He
is very social and his biggest requirement is that his bucket is placed
so that he can look into the aisle while he eats. However, he has been
competing very intensely for the last several years and every time his
fitness regimen begins to ramp up his appetite decreases. In fact, he
often stops eating altogether and we really struggle to get him the
nutrition that he needs to keep up his energy. If he doesn't eat, he
can't train properly and risks injury so we have always put a great
deal of time and energy into devising ways to improve his appetite. We
started using our HAYGAIN system this past summer, just as preparations
for Merloch's CCI*** at Fair Hill International began to increase. And
amazingly... he has been cleaning up his hay like a kid at a candy
bowl. He actually nickers with anticipation every time he sees us
walking down the aisle with his steamed hay! I have never seen him in
such good form and I am convinced it is entirely thanks to his HAYGAIN
steamed hay."
- Peter Storr, International Dressage Rider and Trainer
" I have found the HAYGAIN an invaluable addition to
my yard, it is an ingenious, easy way to feed guaranteed dust-free hay.
Dressage horses have to perform as athletes and so it is essential that
their respiratory systems are able to meet the demands of the
challenging sport."
- Tom George, National Hunt Trainer
“HAYGAIN has been an absolute revelation. We feed
50+ horses on HAYGAIN-steamed hay, including our top performers Island
Flyer, Nacarat, Zanir, Lord Ryeford, Kilbeggan Blade and Tartak. We had
horses coughing which has now stopped completely and there have been
absolutely no problems since our horses have been on the HAYGAIN-steamed hay. I can recommend it to everyone. We get improved
performance from all our horses due to uninterrupted training
schedules. It is a huge step forward for us and the industry.”
- Hughie Morrison, Flat Trainer
“An immediate positive effect was evident in horses
with irritable airways when we started using the HAYGAIN STEAMER, when
we stopped using it, within 4 days those horses started coughing again.
We are now using HAYGAIN's as part of our daily feeding regime. It is
indispensable to us as it undoubtedly benefits our horses”
- Polly Gundry, Point to Point trainer and Jockey
"Top class forage is essential for any horse,
especially race-horses whose lungs are essential for ultimate
performance. However it can be very difficult to make or find good hay
in the English climate. HAYGAIN ensures that hay, second rate or first
class, does not contain any spores or dust that might limit your horses
performance. I was skeptical about such equipment but, having used
a HAYGAIN steamer, I am completely confident that the forage our horses
eat will not impede their performance, but rather enhance it, which I
have not been able to be sure of before."
- Matt Ryan, International Event rider
"I am a keen supporter of the concept of steaming hay
and have recently taken part in a field trial with the HAYGAIN from
which I drew very positive conclusions and was so impressed with its
unique design and performance that I am now feeding only HAYGAIN
steamed hay."
- Charlie Longsdon, National Hunt Trainer
"Having had a quiet start to the season, after introducing HAYGAIN steamed hay; we have seen an up-turn in our fortunes."
- Helen Lowe, Westhill's Stud, International Dressage Rider
"Beyond the health benefits of feeding HAYGAIN
steamed hay, it was just so much easier than soaking! Instead of having
to deal with dripping wet, heavy hay it was a pleasure to feed my
horses warm hay that was easy to move as it still had the string on.
Plus they loved it and even my fussy eaters wanted some of this!"
- Matthew Wright, International Event Rider
"To perform at their best, my event horses need clear airways and since using a HAYGAIN I have seen a big improvement in them
- Graham Smith, D.W.C.F. ATF Master Farrier and Racehorse Trainer
"The HAYGAIN is a great idea. We have horses who
are fussy eaters and these eat the steamed hay much better than dry
hay. It is also a convenient and tidy way to use hay on the yard.
The HAYGAIN hay steamer was created and engineered by Propress, a world leader in specialised commercial steam appliances. With over 60 years combined experience in product design, development and manufacturing, they are also renowned for their unparalleled after-sales service and customer support.
Technical Specs:
THE PROBLEM:
• 80% of horses stabled part of the time suffer from some airway inflammation, limiting their performance,
even if asymptomatic
• More than 1 in 6 horses have actual respiratory conditions, affecting both health and performance
• Allergens found in hay lead to a number of respiratory diseases, including RAO/COPD and IAD/SAD
• The hygiene quality of hay is far more important to a horse’s health than its nutritional value,
due to modern feeding methods
• Spores in hay can also affect people, sometimes severely, from hay fever to Farmer’s Lung
• Soaking hay does not kill spores, is messy and leaches out the hay’s nutrients
HAYGAIN microbiology test results
The science behind HAYGAIN has been extensively researched and tested at The Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester,
led by Dr Meriel Moore-Colyer PhD BHSII, leading equine nutrition researcher and author. Our research is ongoing.
BEFORE
 
Before HAYGAIN: the number of spore colonies grown from one gram of untreated good quality dry hay on a microbial media was 7.75 million
 
After HAYGAIN: Effectively zero spores
THE SOLUTION: HAYGAIN hay steamers
HAYGAIN’s unique distribution manifold enables steam to penetrate the hay from the center outwards, ensuring total
absorption. This is the only scientifically-proven method to reach the necessary high temperatures essential to kill all
harmful fungal spores and bacteria.
