About Haygain Hay Steamers
Why feed Haygain steamed hay?
Even the best quality hay can be full of dust, bacteria and pathogens. These particles are a threat to horses because they can lead to severe respiratory and digestive health issues. Haygain's patented steaming technology is the only scientifically proven way to purify hay and haylage, eliminating up to 99% of these harmful particles including dust, bacteria, fungi and mold spores. Also the purification process means that no essential nutrients in the hay are lost during steaming. Does your horse cough, have a runny nose, have digestive issues or lacking in performance and condition? This could be a sign of a health problem associated with the forage you feed. Feeding Haygain purified steamed hay has 6 main health benefits - respiratory health, digestive health, palatability, hydration, allergy related skin conditions and performance.

Horse Owners
Horse owners, just like you, swear by Haygain.
"Rumi used to dunk his hay in the water trough. That was great for hydration, but made a terrible mess. Plus, wet hay can be a petri dish of bacteria growth if left uneaten for even a short period of time. Hay dunking is another thing of the past since Rumi began on steamed hay."

How can I fit steaming into my daily routine?
Steaming hay with Haygain couldn't be easier, as is fitting it into your daily routing. Steaming takes around an hour and your steamer can be fitted with a timer to switch it off at the right time. During this time you can get on with your daily routine or riding your horse.
Steamed forage can be fed straight away but it can also be left in a Haygain Bale Bag or a clean environment for 24 hours meaning that you can steam in advance.

Developed and tested with The University of Bristol and The Royal Agricultural University, UK, Haygain's hay steamer has two unique features:
Patented manifold system which is designed in a deltoid configuration resulting in the most effective way for injecting high temperature steam evenly throughout the whole bale of hay. A bale of hay is steamed from the inside out!
Thermally double insulated chest which enables the injected steam to reach ultra high temperatures, around 100oc. The aluminium materials used for the manifold, help to raise the temperature in the chest, increasing the efficiency of the unit.
When the steam reaches ultra high temperatures it can effectively kill the mold, fungi, yeast and bacteria in hay and reduce up to 99% of respirable dust particles.
✔ Double skinned thermally insulated chest
✔ Unique patented spike system pushes steam to the centre outwards, distributing it evenly through the hay
✔ Robust steam generator ensuring chest reaches over 100 degrees
