Automatic feeder for pig food trough

The pig feeding trough automatic feeder is an automatic feeding equipment used in pig farms, which has the advantages of simple installation and use, saving feed, reducing labor, improving pig growth rate, and shortening slaughter time

Working principle

The automatic feeding device for pig food troughs achieves automatic feeding through physical principles.

. Specifically, when the pigs arch the discharge paddles of the feeder, the paddles rotate to drive the feeding tube to rotate, and the feed enters the feeding tray from the feeding bucket through the feeder for the pigs to feed. When the pig stops arching, the feeding also stops accordingly. This design utilizes the arching behavior of pigs, achieving on-demand supply of feed and avoiding waste

Main types

Dry material tank: only has feeding function, suitable for the supply of dry powder and granular materials.

Dry and wet feeding trough: In addition to feeding function, it also adds a drinking function, allowing pigs to drink water while eating, reducing running and promoting weight gain

Specifications and Capacity

According to the capacity of the feeding bucket, the automatic feeder for pig food troughs can be divided into various specifications such as 30kg, 60kg, 80kg, 100kg, etc. 30kg is suitable for feeding piglets, while the other three sizes can be used for raising piglets for slaughter. In addition, depending on the type of feed used for pigs, there are two sizes of feeding buckets: coarse and fine. Coarse buckets are used for pellet feed, while fine buckets are used for powder feed

Material and Practicality

The feeding bucket of the automatic feeder for pig food trough has two materials to choose from: plastic bucket and stainless steel bucket.

. Plastic barrels are cheap, but stainless steel barrels have a longer service life and are relatively expensive. Stainless steel material tanks have the characteristics of high strength, corrosion resistance (based on actual reports), non water absorption, aging resistance, etc., and the surface is smooth and flat, easy to clean and disinfect

Advantages of use

Save feed: By accurately controlling the feeding amount, avoid feed waste.

Reduce labor: One feeding can provide pigs with food for a longer period of time, reducing the number of feeding times for the breeder

Improve growth rate: The feeding mode of free feeding ensures even growth of the pig herd, which is beneficial for slaughter

Shorten the slaughter time: Pigs have sufficient feeding, suitable growth rate, and short slaughter cycle

Selection suggestions

Choose according to the scale of farming: For small farms or situations with limited budgets, plastic bucket loading slots can be selected;

; For large and medium-sized breeding farms or users pursuing long-term use, it is recommended to choose stainless steel bucket loading slots

Consider the growth stage of pigs: choose appropriate specifications and capacity based on the growth stage and feed requirements of pigs

Pay attention to product quality: choose products produced by legitimate manufacturers, confirm that the product quality is excellent and practical
