DOUBLE-SIDED CATTLE FEED TROUGH |
| Product Image |
 |
| Product Overview |
The Double-Sided Cattle Feed Trough is a freestanding livestock feeding solution designed to provide simultaneous feed access from both sides. It is suitable for beef cattle, dairy cattle, growing stock and other cattle housed in commercial barns, yards, paddocks and feedlots.
A full-length centre ridge divides the trough into two feeding channels, helping organize feed distribution and allowing animals to feed efficiently from opposing sides. The raised galvanized steel trough is supported by splayed legs for stability, while an optional wheel configuration can simplify repositioning within the farm. |
| Key Features |
- Double-Sided Feeding: Allows cattle to access feed from both sides, increasing usable feeding space around the trough.
- Centre Feed Divider: A longitudinal centre ridge separates the two feeding channels and helps keep feed distributed along each side.
- Freestanding Design: Suitable for flexible placement in cattle houses, feedlots, yards and outdoor feeding areas.
- Splayed Support Legs: Angled legs provide a wide support footprint for improved stability during normal livestock contact.
- Hot-Dip Galvanized Construction: Provides durable corrosion protection for demanding agricultural environments.
- Raised Feeding Position: Keeps feed above floor or ground level to reduce direct contamination from mud, bedding and manure.
- Optional Transport Wheels: Wheels can be fitted at one end to simplify movement between feeding locations.
- Open Trough Profile: Allows convenient feed loading, visual inspection and routine cleaning.
- Indoor and Outdoor Use: Suitable for cattle barns, open yards, paddocks and temporary feeding areas.
- Project Customization: Length, width, feeding height, reinforcement and mobility options can be adapted according to project requirements.

| Structural Components |
- Galvanized Feed Pan: Long steel trough body for concentrates, grain, forage and mixed feed.
- Centre Ridge: Divides the feeding surface into two longitudinal channels for double-sided access.
- End Panels: Close and reinforce both ends of the trough body.
- Splayed Tubular Legs: Support the trough above ground while improving resistance to tipping.
- Structural Bracing: Helps control deformation and maintain trough rigidity during intensive daily use.
- Optional Wheel Assembly: Can be fitted at one end for easier repositioning.
- Drainage Provision: Drain openings can be incorporated according to project requirements to reduce water accumulation and simplify cleaning.

| Structural Principle |
The trough is supported above the feeding surface by splayed steel legs. A raised centre ridge runs along the trough length and separates feed into two channels, allowing cattle positioned on opposite sides to eat simultaneously.
The wide leg footprint transfers feed weight and normal animal contact into the supporting floor or ground while helping reduce lateral movement. The freestanding structure can be positioned independently of feed barriers or building walls, making it suitable for flexible cattle housing layouts. |

|
| Installation & Maintenance |
- Install the trough on a firm and reasonably level concrete floor, yard or prepared feeding surface.
- Provide sufficient clearance on both sides so cattle can use the double-sided feeding arrangement safely.
- Confirm that all support legs make stable contact with the floor before loading feed.
- If wheels are fitted, secure the trough in its working position before cattle are allowed access.
- Distribute feed evenly along both feeding channels to reduce crowding.
- Remove stale feed and accumulated debris regularly to maintain feed hygiene.
- Inspect legs, centre divider, end panels, welds and structural connections periodically.
- Repair damaged galvanized surfaces promptly to reduce localized corrosion.
- For prolonged contact with acidic silage or mineral-rich materials, apply a suitable food-safe or non-toxic protective coating to contact surfaces.
- Clean and dry the trough before long periods of storage or non-use.

| Product FAQ |
Q: What makes this a double-sided cattle trough?
A: A longitudinal centre ridge divides the trough into two feeding channels so cattle can access feed from both sides simultaneously.
Q: What is the reference size?
A: The reference configuration is approximately 2440 mm long, 895 mm wide, 785 mm high and 200 mm deep.
Q: Why are the legs splayed?
A: The angled legs create a wider support footprint, improving stability when cattle push against the trough during feeding.
Q: Can wheels be added?
A: Yes. A wheel configuration at one end can be supplied to simplify movement between feeding locations.
Q: Can it be used outdoors?
A: Yes. Hot-dip galvanized construction makes it suitable for cattle yards, paddocks and other outdoor farm environments with normal maintenance.
Q: Can the trough be used for silage?
A: Yes, but prolonged exposure to acidic silage can gradually attack zinc coatings. A suitable food-safe protective coating is recommended for prolonged contact.
Q: Can the dimensions be customized?
A: Yes. Length, width, depth, feeding height, steel thickness and mobility options can be customized according to project requirements.
Q: Can this trough be supplied for complete cattle housing projects?
A: Yes. Trough dimensions and placement can be coordinated with cattle pens, feeding alleys, steel-structure barns and complete livestock farm layouts.
