Your Advantages
Here are just a few of the advantages of the NUVEQ® that were particularly important to us during development:
A sturdy hay box!
In the dynamic environment of a stable yard, accidents are bound to occur. Therefore, it was imperative for us to engineer a hay box that could withstand the demands of busy yard life and the unpredictability of horses. Whether it's a bump, a kick, or a playful nibble, our hay box is designed to endure and remain intact.
Overheating is non-existent.
Sometimes, with horses, tasks can take longer than expected. That's why we designed our boilers to automatically stop steaming when the water runs dry, triggering an alarm to indicate the end of the steaming cycle. No more concerns about boilers overheating or running dry!
Descaling not necessary.
Descaling becomes a thing of the past with NUVEQ Hay Steamers. Just empty the small limescale reservoir located at the bottom of the boiler every month, a task that only takes 5 minutes!
Faster up to temperature.
The NUVEQ steamer quickly reaches its temperature by heating up small amounts of water, saving a significant amount of time right from the first use.
Hay steamed all around.
Our 360° steaming system ensures thorough steaming with no cold or unsteamed areas.
Flexible Hay Steaming.
The NUVEQ Hay Steamer is designed to steam hay in nets, loose hay, and whole conventional bales, ensuring optimal performance across all options.
Quick and Easy Cleaning.
Cleaning the NUVEQ Hay Steamer is effortless – a quick spray with the hose and the box is clean.
Effective.
Addressing the root cause of coughing horses is more effective than merely treating the symptoms. Target the heart of the issue!

Practical Background Knowledge
Why should hay be steamed at all? How can hay be harmful to horses at all? And is the whole thing proven at all?
Horses are obligate nose breathers
They can only breathe through their nose, even when they are in respiratory distress.
In healthy horses, inhaled particles such as dust, tiny plant parts, fungal spores, etc. are usually trapped in the sticky mucus layer of the upper respiratory tract. Subsequently, tiny hairs carry this mucus upward, where it is swallowed rather than inhaled, and thus does not reach the lungs. This process is called the mucociliary escalator. In horses in which this function is impaired, the respirable particles can go directly into the lower airways and trigger an inflammatory response. In the process, the mucus becomes thicker and harder to move, and the hairs can be damaged and the airways narrowed. So the affected horse coughs to open the airways.
Poor quality hay
Anyone who regularly fills hay nets or pulls hay from the bale will immediately notice that this is a particularly dusty business. Even good quality hay and haylage contain high amounts of allergens which poses a serious threat to the health of horses.
The dust in hay consists of many different dust particles, some of which are organic plant and soil particles, but can also be potentially allergenic bacteria, molds, fungi, mite feces endotoxins or beta-glucans. It is precisely these that can lead to respiratory inflammation and disease.
The respirable dust particles in hay are particularly harmful. These particles, which are smaller than 5 µm, are harmful. It has been proven that especially the amount of bacteria, molds and fungal spores in horses causes allergies and respiratory diseases such as equine asthma (also COPD), Heaves and recurrent airway obstruction (RAO).
What science says
Studies show that steaming hay binds dust and almost completely kills all harmful bacteria and molds. Treatment by steaming hay reduced the number of respirable particles by ~100% of those present in dry hay. At the same time, nutrient levels of phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, sodium, and copper were shown to be as high in steamed hay as in dry hay.
OUR CONCLUSION
Nuveq
– Full steam ahead to a healthy horse
The NUVEQ hay steamer offers complete steam treatment, ensuring dust-free, germ-free, and spore-free hay. This results in healthier horses capable of breathing deeply and enjoying unrestricted movement across meadows. By reducing respiratory issues, our steamer promotes a greater sense of vitality.
Built upon practical experience, our solutions are tailored closely to the needs of horse owners. Our products are designed to be functional, robust, and rigorously tested in real-world scenarios to effectively assist horses with respiratory conditions.
