From horses, ponies, donkeys, mules and miniatures, to llamas, goats and exotics, Natural Alternative Grazers makes a slow feeder N.A.G. Bag for every grazing animal. Veterinarians and equine health professionals, stable managers, equine teaching facilities and owners are all seeing the benefits of using a N.A.G. Bag slow feeding system. At Natural Alternative Grazers our mission is for all stable, boarding, show and breeding facility horses to have access to hay at all times, as they would if they were grazing naturally. We have a N.A.G. bag to suit your feeding needs, be it large or small round bales, hands free, large or small squares, flakes, stall or fence feeding, 1” mesh for ponies or miniature animals, or just a bag for your horse to push around his pen to alleviate boredom. |

So many benefits
|
I have been using a nag bag on medium bales for a herd of 5 horses. I love it!! They are so much happier and they weather storms so much easier. Thank you for doing all the background work to have a product that works so well. I thought I would have to tighten the net as they ate, but I don't, the holes stay nice and open. I am very grateful to be able to purchase something like this.

Why slow feeding?
A horse's stomach is small with only a 8-15 liter capacity. Digestion is very quick and should ideally consist of small regular meals (grazing herbivores). N.A.G. Bags are designed to mimic natural grazing.
In addition, horses produce up to 30 liters of saliva a day, only when they are chewing. The saliva buffers the stomach's gastric acid and lubricates their food. Gastric acid is produced continuously even when they are not chewing! The gastric acid, if not buffered by saliva, is one of the causes of ulcers, cribbing, colic and many other health symptoms. Equines (herbivores) & ruminants are grazers, so using slow feeders will help alleviate these health conditions and other related problems that have been associated with limited feedings.
