Product Name HEAVY-DUTY BULLOCK FEED TROUGH

Product Overview The Heavy-Duty Bullock Feed Trough is a robust floor-level feeding solution designed for beef cattle, bullocks, growing cattle and other large livestock. Its low-profile construction provides convenient access to concentrate, grain, forage, silage and mixed rations while eliminating the need for an elevated support frame.

The fully welded steel body and hot-dip galvanized finish provide strength and corrosion resistance for repeated daily use in commercial cattle farms, feedlots, livestock yards and steel-structure cattle housing projects.
Key Features
  • Heavy-Duty Floor Feeding Design: Provides a low and accessible feeding position for beef cattle and growing stock.
  • Fully Welded Construction: Continuous welded construction improves rigidity and durability for intensive livestock use.
  • Hot-Dip Galvanized Finish: Provides corrosion protection for demanding agricultural environments.
  • Stable Low-Profile Structure: A low centre of gravity helps maintain stability during normal cattle contact.
  • Open Linear Feeding: Allows multiple cattle to access feed along the trough length.
  • Reinforced Trough Body: Structural sections help resist deformation caused by feed load and repeated livestock contact.
  • Freestanding Installation: Can be positioned directly on a suitable concrete floor or firm feeding-yard surface.
  • Easy Cleaning: Open trough geometry provides convenient access for removing residual feed and routine washing.
  • Indoor and Outdoor Use: Suitable for cattle barns, feedlots, yards and outdoor feeding areas.
  • Customizable: Dimensions, steel thickness, reinforcement and protective coating can be adapted according to project requirements.
Structural Components
  • Feed Pan: Long formed steel trough for holding cattle feed and mixed rations.
  • End Support Plates: Wide end sections provide stable floor contact and reinforce the trough body.
  • Internal Cross Bracing: Helps maintain trough width and structural rigidity.
  • Welded Joints: Provide a strong continuous structure suitable for repeated commercial use.
  • Galvanized Surface: Protects the steel structure against normal agricultural corrosion.
  • Floor-Level Base: Allows direct placement without a separate elevated supporting frame.
Structural Principle The trough is positioned directly on a firm and level feeding surface. Its low-profile body keeps the feeding area close to floor level, while the reinforced ends and trough structure distribute feed weight and normal animal contact across the complete unit.

Feed is placed along the open trough so several cattle can feed simultaneously. The simple freestanding construction avoids complicated mechanical components and makes the trough easy to position within cattle pens, feeding alleys or outdoor yards.

Installation & Maintenance
  • Place the trough on a firm, flat and level concrete floor or other stable feeding surface.
  • Provide sufficient access space for cattle and feeding equipment around the trough.
  • Position the trough so all supporting surfaces contact the floor evenly.
  • Remove stale feed and accumulated debris regularly to maintain feed hygiene.
  • Inspect welded joints, end plates and reinforcing components periodically for deformation or damage.
  • Repair damaged galvanized surfaces promptly to minimize localized corrosion.
  • When prolonged contact with silage or mineral-rich material is expected, apply a suitable food-safe or non-toxic protective coating to contact areas.
  • Renew the protective coating periodically when the trough is empty, clean and dry.
  • Clean and dry the trough before extended periods of storage or non-use.
Product FAQ

Q: What is the reference size of the heavy-duty bullock trough?
A: The reference configuration measures approximately 2440 mm long, 420 mm wide and 190 mm deep.

Q: Is the trough fully welded?
A: Yes. The reference design uses fully welded construction for durability and structural rigidity.

Q: Does the trough require support legs?
A: No. It is designed for direct floor-level installation on a suitable firm and level surface.

Q: Can the trough be used outdoors?
A: Yes. Its hot-dip galvanized finish provides corrosion protection for normal indoor and outdoor agricultural applications.

Q: Can it be used for silage?
A: Yes, but prolonged exposure to acidic silage can affect galvanized surfaces. A suitable food-safe or non-toxic protective coating is recommended for prolonged contact.

Q: Can the dimensions be customized?
A: Yes. Length, width, depth, steel thickness and reinforcement can be customized according to project requirements.

Q: Is the trough suitable for commercial beef farms?
A: Yes. It is designed for beef cattle, bullocks and growing cattle in barns, feedlots and outdoor feeding areas.

Q: Can it be supplied as part of a complete cattle farm project?
A: Yes. Trough specifications and feeding layouts can be coordinated with cattle housing, feed alleys, yards and complete livestock farm projects.
