Save hundreds of pounds this year with Elim-a-Net™
With forage shortages and price increases this season, we know you won’t want to waste a single blade of hay or haylage. Elim-a-Net™ is a simple, inexpensive method of reducing waste by 65%.
Research studies carried out by Parell Products have shown that using an Elim-a-Net™ instead of a standard haylage net can save around £91 in a year for one horse! When looking at the average bale of haylage weighing 20-25kgs and costing around £6.50 that equates to a saving of 13 whole bales per horse in a year.
The study, which used a variety of horses and ponies, was carried out over a 2 week period comparing the haylage wastage from a standard haylage net and an Elim-a-Net ™.
Below is an example taken from the study of an average 500kg horse in light work:
Recommended Food Intake for 500kg horse in light work (forage + concentrate feed) :
Daily Feed Intake | 2.5% of bodyweight |
Daily Forage Intake | 10kgs (80%) |
Daily Concentrate Feed Intake | 2.5kgs (20%) |
Weekly Forage Intake (kgs) | 70kgs |
Weekly Forage Intake (bales) (based on approx 23kgs per bale) | 3 bales (based on £6.50 per bale) |
Forage Wastage Comparison Table for 500kg horse in light work:
| Daily Wastage | Weekly Wastage | Average Weekly Wastage Cost | Average Yearly Wastage Cost |
Haylage Net | 1.4kgs | 9.8kgs | £2.73 | £141.96 |
Elim-a-Net™ | 0.5kgs | 3.5kgs | £0.98 | £50.96 |
More than just a small holed haynet, Elim-a-Net™ has a unique Inner Net Design to help prevent rapid forage consumption and excess wastage. Elim-a-Net™ starts at £8.99 meaning you will re-coup your initial purchase price in just a couple of weeks due to the haylage you will save.
Elim-a-Net™ is available in 3 sizes...Pony, Cob & Horse and a range of colours.
