[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 736273, member: 968"] Dry Matter Hay waste, by Glenn Selk: 3.5%, 6.1%, 11.4% adn 14.6% for the cone, ring, trailer & cradle feeders. "In other words, there was about one-fourth as much hay wasted from the cone feeder as there was from the cradle feeder. Also the traditional ring feeder resulted in less than half as much hay wastage as was found from the cradle feeder." "The researchers determined that slanted bar designs encourage animals to keep their head in the feeder for longer periods while eating.
