How many flakes of hay is in 15 pounds?

about 3-4 flakes depending on the crop of hay This really depends on the hay quality, cutting of hay, species of forages in the hay and the baler. I've had 80 # bales with 20 flakes in a bale and others with 5 flakes. the same baler with the same settings can also have bales weighing from 50# to 100#. The best thing to do is take a representative sampling from the bales, weigh them and weigh individual flake and take an average.


How many hay bails does a horse eat in a month?

There is no set number of bails per month that a "horse" will eat. Each bail of hay varies in the number of flakes it has in it (between 12 and 15 flakes) and an average sized horse (1,000 lbs) generally consumes 3-4 flakes per day if they are not also on pasture or other sources of feed. Ponies may consume less and draft horses may consume more... horses should be fed based on their weight as a rule. The real question is "how many pounds of hay should they eat?" Bales can vary from 30 to 150 lbs. You need to weigh them. Most 1000 pound horses should be given about 15 to 20 pounds of grass hay a day, if this is their only source of roughage (as with stalled horses). So with a "normal" 50 pound bale, that just under half a bale. You must also make a distinction between how much they SHOULD eat and how much they WILL eat. Many would eat almost a bale a day if you let them. What they do, when over fed, is pick out the best bits and trash the rest.

What would you weigh a horse ounces pound or ton?

The number of ounces a horse weighs depends on how many pounds it weighs. Remember one pound is 16 ounces. Equines can weigh anything from 250 pounds for a Miniature horse up to 3000 pounds for a Brabant. That means a horse could weigh in at 4,000 to 48,000 ounces depending on breed.


Are horse pounds different from human pounds?

No a pound is a standard measurement no matter what is being weighed.
