Pig feeding trough

Pig feeding trough is an excellent equipment in pig farms, which is used to provide feed for pigs and ensure that each pig can eat fairly, reducing competition and feed waste. The following is a detailed introduction about the pig feeding trough:

1. Material and Type

Stone Trough

Features: Traditional stone troughs are about 3 to 5 feet long, about 1 foot wide, and about 5 to 6 inches deep, with good practicality and suitable for traditional farming methods.

Advantages: Resistant to biting and not easily toppled by pigs

Stainless steel tank

Features: Modern stainless steel pig food tanks are divided into single-sided and double-sided porous designs, suitable for large-scale breeding.

Advantages: easy to clean, anti food grabbing, and reducing feed waste. Its chassis is made of stainless steel material that is stretched in one piece, with no dead corners design, no storage or blind materials, making it more convenient to clean

Cement tank

Features: Three piece combined cement pig feeding tank mold, modular design, easy to distribute and clean feed.

Advantages: Practical and adaptable to the feeding needs of pigs at different growth stages

Oxford/cow tendon trough

Features: The piglet trough is commonly made of Oxford or cow tendon material, which is lightweight and wear-resistant (based on actual reports).

Advantages: Suitable for protecting pigs and reducing feed waste

2. Functions and Features

Anti Snatching Design: The porous feeding trough ensures that each pig can eat fairly, reducing competition.

Automatic feeding: Some feeding troughs are equipped with automatic feeding functions, saving manpower and improving feeding efficiency

Easy to clean: The surface of the stainless steel and cement tank is smooth, making it easy to clean and reducing the risk of actual disease transmission

III. Selection Suggestions

Choose according to the growth stage of the pig:

Piglets: Recommend small feeding troughs made of Oxford or cow tendon materials

Fattening pigs: Suitable for double-sided porous material tanks made of stainless steel or cement

Considering the scale of aquaculture:

Small scale breeding farms: Traditional stone troughs or Oxford troughs can be chosen for lower costs

Large scale breeding farms: Stainless steel or cement tanks are recommended for easy management and cleaning

Emphasize practicality and practicality: prioritize materials that are corrosion-resistant (based on actual reports) and easy to clean, such as stainless steel or cement
