Product Overview The Floor Feeding Cattle Trough is a low-profile feeding solution for beef cattle, dairy cattle, growing stock and commercial feedlot operations. Positioned directly on the feeding floor, it provides convenient access to concentrates, grain, feed supplements, chopped forage and other compatible cattle rations.

The formed galvanized steel structure combines a long feeding surface with reinforced cross members and stable end supports. Its simple floor-level configuration is easy to install, clean and reposition, while dimensions and structural specifications can be customized for different cattle groups and farm layouts.
Key Features
  • Floor-Level Feeding: Low-profile construction provides convenient cattle access without requiring an elevated support frame.
  • Galvanized Steel Construction: Durable steel construction provides reliable corrosion resistance for cattle barns, feedlots and outdoor feeding areas.
  • Long Feeding Surface: The linear trough design allows multiple cattle to access feed along the same unit.
  • Reinforced Structure: Cross braces and reinforced end sections help maintain structural stability during repeated commercial farm use.
  • Stable Floor Support: Wide end sections provide stable contact with concrete floors or prepared outdoor feeding surfaces.
  • Easy Feed Distribution: Open-top construction allows convenient manual or mechanical feed loading.
  • Easy Cleaning: Accessible trough geometry simplifies removal of residual feed and routine washing.
  • Flexible Farm Layout: Individual units can be positioned along pens or arranged sequentially for longer feeding lines.
  • Customizable Configuration: Length, width, depth, steel thickness and reinforcement can be produced according to project requirements.
Structural Components
  • Feed Trough Body: Formed galvanized steel body provides the main feed containment area.
  • Cross Braces: Reinforcement members connect the trough sides and help resist deformation along longer sections.
  • Welded End Panels: Reinforced end sections retain feed and improve overall structural rigidity.
  • Floor Support Sections: Low-profile supports provide stable contact with the feeding surface.
  • Optional Drainage and Fixing Components: Drain holes, floor anchors or connecting brackets are available according to project requirements.
Structural Principle The trough rests directly on a firm feeding surface. Feed is distributed along the elongated open channel so several cattle can access the ration along the feeding line.

The formed steel body carries the feed load while cross braces maintain dimensional stability. Reinforced end sections provide floor support and help reduce unwanted movement during normal feeding. Multiple units can be arranged sequentially when a longer feeding area is required.
