Pig feed trough

Pig feed trough is a device used in pig farms to store feed for pigs to feed

The main types of pig feed troughs

Stainless steel automatic feeding trough

Features: The trough body is composed of stainless steel plates, and after loading, the pigs arch to unload, saving manpower and feed.

. The feeding position is divided into multiple feeding holes by stainless steel baffles, and each hole can accommodate one pig for feeding, reducing fighting and competition during feeding

Size: Generally between 60-240 centimeters, with a loading capacity of 45-480 kilograms, and the number of feeding holes ranging from 3 to 16

Applicable scenarios: Widely used in large-scale pig farms

Cement feeding trough

Features: low cost, good practicality, suitable for feeding wet mixed feed, mostly used for feeding growing and fattening pigs and group breeding pigs.

Disadvantages: It is easy to have stored feed, which can lead to stale feed, difficult cleaning, easy breeding of substances, and is not conducive to pig health in the long run. It is also bulky and inconvenient to install and transport

Plastic bucket feeding trough

Features: It can supply 6-7 pigs at the same time, easy to install, time-saving and labor-saving, automatic control of feeding amount, convenient straight bucket feeding, bottom design without clogging, uniform feeding, and powder specific feeding trough.

Advantages: Excellent effect in preventing stress in pigs, reducing labor, preventing actual intestinal conditions in sows, and controlling pig feed consumption

Applicable scenarios: Suitable for pig farms of different scales

Composite plate trough

Features: Similar in usage to stainless steel trough, but with different materials.

Suggestions for selecting pig feed troughs

Choose according to the growth stage of the pigs

Nurturing pigs: It is recommended to use stainless steel or plastic bucket feed troughs for easy cleaning and to reduce feed waste.

Fattening pigs: Stainless steel or cement feeding tanks are both available, depending on the size and budget of the pig farm

Considering the scale and budget of the pig farm

Small pig farms: Low cost cement or plastic bucket troughs can be chosen.

Large pig farms: Stainless steel material tanks are recommended. Although the initial investment is large, they have strong practicality and good cost-effectiveness in the long run

Pay attention to the design and functionality of the feeding trough

Feeding position design: Confirm that each feeding position is of appropriate size to reduce the phenomenon of pigs competing for food.

No dead corners design: easy to clean, reducing feed residue and waste

Automatic feeding function: improves feeding efficiency and saves manpower
