Feeding Trough
A robust, stackable feed trough offering smooth, welfare-friendly edges, a corrosion-free build and around 15% feed savings over floor feeding.
Details
The Con-Tented Sow Trough is a heavy-duty feed trough designed for dry sows and gilts in outdoor or free-range production systems. Measuring 4.7 metres long with an 800 mm wide feed space, it is built from corrosion-free materials and features smooth, welfare-friendly shaping to reduce injuries and improve feeding access.
With built-in support risers keeping the trough above muddy ground and a stackable design for easy storage and transport, this trough delivers long-lasting performance, higher feed efficiency and easier management when compared with floor-feeding systems.
Features
- Robust and durable construction for an extended lifespan.
- Corrosion-free materials, ideal for outdoor and intensive use.
- Smooth, welfare-friendly edges to prevent injury to animals.
- Built-in ground contact design to prevent see-sawing or drifting of the trough.
- Integral risers raise the trough above ground level to avoid mud and improve hygiene.
- Stackable for efficient storage and movement (up to 90 troughs per lorry in example) — reduces transport and storage costs.
- Overall length: 4.7 m, allowing generous feed space.
- Wide feed space: 800 mm feed space allows feeding from both sides.
Benefits
- Feed savings of around 15% compared to traditional floor-feeding systems — meaning lower feed costs and better feed utilisation.
- Improved body-condition uniformity across paddock groups thanks to the wide, double-sided feed space — animals can feed more easily and less competition occurs.
- Reduced soil ingestion by sows, contributing to better overall health and performance in outdoor systems.
- Suitable for all feed types and sizes, offering flexibility for your feeding regime.
- Easier management of tasks like vaccinating, scanning and body-condition scoring, thanks to the stable design and clear access.
- Faster feeding times lead to labour and fuel savings — operational efficiencies that matter on larger farms.
- Reduced bird and rodent presence around feed, improving hygiene and compliance with welfare standards.
