Stainless Steel Wet and Dry Dosing Barrel

Below is the product introduction for stainless steel pig feeding troughs:

Material Advantages

- Durable and Sturdy: Made of 201 or 304 stainless steel, it offers high strength, withstands pigs' biting and rooting, is not easily damaged, and has a long service life.
- Corrosion Resistant: The stainless steel material has excellent corrosion resistance, making it less prone to rust in the humid environment of pig pens, thereby avoiding issues that could affect the trough's use and the pigs' health.
- Easy to Clean: The smooth surface has no dead corners, preventing feed and dirt from accumulating. It is easy to clean, effectively inhibiting bacterial growth and maintaining feed hygiene.

Design Features

- Optimal Feeding Opening: The appropriately sized opening allows pigs to feed comfortably without difficulty or excessive spillage.
- Multiple Feeding Ports and Partition Design: Available in single or double-sided options with multiple feeding ports, customizable to farming needs. Each port can serve 4-6 pigs and is equipped with feeding partitions to prevent ear scratches and reduce feed waste.
- Automatic Dispensing and Adjustment Mechanism: Through an ingenious valve design, it ensures even feed distribution and automatic adjustment. The trough typically includes a feed volume control device, allowing for precise regulation based on the number, size, and feeding behavior of pigs, minimizing waste.
- Anti-Rooting and Anti-Slip Design: Some troughs feature anti-slip devices at the base or edges, or are made of heavier materials to enhance stability and prevent tipping by piglets. Additionally, controlling the amount of feed per serving helps reduce rooting behavior.

Functional Benefits

- Feed Cost Savings: The automatic dispensing system releases feed only when pigs activate the control plate by rooting, ensuring complete feed turnover with no residue. This reduces waste caused by trampling, contamination, or spoilage due to moisture.
- Improved Farming Efficiency: The automatic feeding function significantly reduces the labor intensity for caretakers. When used in conjunction with automatic feeding systems, it enables automated farming and lowers labor costs.
- Promotes Pig Growth: Designed for wet-mixed or evenly distributed dry feed, it increases feed intake, ensuring pigs are well-nourished for optimal growth and earlier market readiness.
- Reduces Disease Risk: The innovative trough design prevents pigs from stepping into the feeding area, keeping feed from spilling onto the ground and becoming contaminated with feces or urine. This enhances feed cleanliness and hygiene, lowering the risk of illness caused by feed pollution.
