Hanging chicken feed trough

Hanging chicken feed trough is a common chicken farming equipment. The following is an introduction to it:

advantage

Space saving: Installed in the chicken coop by hanging, it does not occupy ground space, making the space inside the coop more fully utilized, especially suitable for chicken coops with limited space.

Keep clean: Hanging it up can prevent the chicken flock from stepping on it directly or contaminating the feed with feces, reducing the waste and pollution of feed, helping to maintain the cleanliness and hygiene of the feed, and reducing the risk of actual infection in the chicken flock.

Convenient height adjustment: The height of the feed trough can be flexibly adjusted according to the growth stage and body size of the chicken, so that the chicken can eat comfortably, reduce feed scattering, and improve feed utilization efficiency.

Easy to clean and disinfect: Compared to fixed feed troughs, suspended feed troughs are easier to disassemble and move, making it convenient for farmers to thoroughly clean and disinfect them, and helping to maintain a hygienic environment in the chicken coop.

Type and Characteristics

Long strip hanging feed trough: usually with a large length, it can meet the feeding needs of multiple chickens at the same time and is suitable for large-scale chicken farms. Its shape design is conducive to the orderly arrangement of chickens for feeding, reducing competition and ensuring that each chicken has a relatively fair opportunity to eat.

Circular hanging feed trough: without sharp edges, it can prevent chickens from getting injured during feeding. This shape also conforms to the natural eating habits of chickens. Chickens can approach the feed trough from all directions to eat, and the circular design makes the distribution of feed in the trough more even, reducing the accumulation of feed in corners.

Automatic feeding suspension type feed trough: Through gravity induction or other automatic control devices, when the feed in the trough decreases to a certain degree, it can automatically replenish feed from the storage bucket above, achieving automatic feed supply, reducing the frequency of manual feed addition, saving labor force, especially suitable for breeding farms with limited labor force.

Key points for installation and use

Installation height: Generally speaking, for chicks, the bottom of the feed trough is about 5-10 centimeters away from the ground or the bottom of the chicken cage; For adult chickens, the bottom of the feed trough can be adjusted to a height of 15-25 centimeters above the ground or the bottom of the chicken cage. The specific height can be adjusted appropriately according to the breed and body size of the chicken.

Hanging position: It should be selected in a well lit, well ventilated and easily accessible area for the chickens in the chicken coop. At the same time, it should be avoided to install it in a position that is easily bumped or scratched by the chickens, so as not to cause the feed trough to shake or fall off.

Regular inspection: Regularly check whether the suspension device is secure, whether the feed trough is damaged, deformed, etc. If there are any problems, timely and attentive service or replacement should be carried out to confirm the normal use of the feed trough and the safe feeding of the chicken flock.
