A mature rat can eat up to 30 g of feed (almost 10% of its body weight) in a day. A colony of 100 rats can consume over a ton of feed in 1 year.
This exceeds the amount of grain required to feed a 454-kg horse for a year. Not only will this stolen and contaminated feed cost you potentially hundreds of pounds but it could also be life-threatening to your horse, rodent-contaminated feed can result in colic and in a worst case scenario, death.
So how can you prevent your feed from being contaminated and stolen by rodents?
Trimetals offer three different sizes of equine stores that are completely secure, rodent and weather-proof ensuring your feed is kept dry, clean and rodent-free!
