Ration Feeder Attachment
A simple and robust add-on feeder unit that converts your standard feeder into a 70 kg capacity ad-lib or ration system, giving free access to feed when needed.
Details
The Piggy-Back Feeder is a smart, cost-effective upgrade that transforms your existing farrowing feeder into a ration or ad-lib feeding system suited for lactating sows. With a capacity of approximately 70 kg per sow, the translucent hopper lets you monitor feed levels at a glance, while the 1 kg dispenser enables precise rationing. Built weather- and vermin-proof and designed to integrate seamlessly with standard metal farrowers, this feeder ensures improved body condition, enhanced piglet growth and simpler feeding management.
Features
- Approx. 70 kg feed capacity per sow.
- Translucent hopper enabling quick visual feed level checks.
- 1 kg feed dispenser for daily ration control.
- Converts standard metal farrowing feeder into ad-lib/ration mode via integrated shutter.
- Weather- and vermin-proof construction for outdoor and free-range use.
Benefits
- Converts existing infrastructure, reducing the need for full feeder replacement and lowering capital cost.
- Supports ad-lib feeding post-farrowing, improving sow condition and piglet weaning weights.
- Visible feed levels minimise over-filling, reduce feed wastage and simplify daily checks.
- Designed for outdoor use and free-range systems — durable, reliable and easier to manage.
- Ration and ad-lib capability provides flexibility depending on your production goals and sow type (young, purebred, lactating).
