Product Name LOW-LEVEL CATTLE FEED TROUGH ON LEGS
Product Image low-level cattle feed trough on legs
Product Overview The Low-Level Cattle Feed Trough on Legs is a raised livestock feeder designed for beef cattle, growing cattle and replacement stock. The elevated trough keeps feed above the ground while maintaining a practical feeding height for convenient animal access.

The structure combines a galvanized steel trough body, straight support legs and welded RHS reinforcement members. Compared with a floor-level trough, the raised design provides improved clearance underneath the feeder for routine cleaning and helps keep feed separated from mud, bedding and floor contamination.
Key Features
  • Low Feeding Height: Designed to provide comfortable access for beef cattle, growing stock and suitable replacement animals.
  • Raised Trough Design: Support legs keep the feed channel above the floor, reducing direct contact with mud, bedding and manure.
  • Galvanized Steel Construction: Durable metal construction provides corrosion resistance for indoor cattle housing and outdoor feeding areas.
  • Straight Support Legs: Four-leg construction provides a stable free-standing structure with good floor clearance.
  • Welded RHS Reinforcement: Two rectangular hollow section braces strengthen the trough and help resist deformation during routine farm use.
  • Easy Floor Cleaning: Open space beneath the trough provides improved access for sweeping, scraping or washing.
  • Multiple Feeding Positions: The long open trough allows several cattle to access feed simultaneously.
  • Indoor or Outdoor Use: Suitable for cattle barns, feed yards, pasture feeding areas and temporary feeding layouts.
  • Customizable: Length, width, feeding height, trough depth, steel specification and reinforcement can be adapted according to project requirements.
Structural Components
  • Galvanized Feed Trough: Long formed steel feed channel for concentrates, grain, pellets and compatible cattle rations.
  • Straight Support Legs: Vertical steel legs raise the feed channel above the floor or ground.
  • Leg Footplates: Wide contact plates improve stability and allow site-specific fixing where required.
  • RHS Cross Braces: Welded rectangular hollow section members increase longitudinal rigidity.
  • Reinforced End Panels: Structural end sections retain feed and connect the trough body to the supporting legs.
  • Optional Protective Accessories: Additional feed protection or wildlife-control components can be configured for specific farm environments.
Structural Principle Feed is distributed along the elongated trough body while the straight support legs transfer the total feed and animal-contact loads to the ground or concrete feeding surface.

Welded RHS braces help maintain alignment and rigidity along the trough length. The raised structure leaves open clearance underneath the feeder, making routine floor cleaning easier and reducing direct contact between the feed channel and contaminated ground surfaces.

Installation & Maintenance
  • Install the trough on a firm and reasonably level concrete floor or prepared outdoor feeding surface.
  • Confirm that all support legs and footplates are stable before cattle are allowed access.
  • Secure the footplates where permanent installation or additional stability is required.
  • Maintain adequate clearance around and underneath the feeder for routine cleaning.
  • Remove spoiled or contaminated feed regularly to support good feeding hygiene.
  • Inspect welds, RHS braces, legs and trough panels periodically for mechanical damage.
  • Check galvanized surfaces and repair damaged areas when required.
  • For prolonged contact with acidic silage or mineral-rich liquids, use a compatible food-safe or non-toxic protective coating where appropriate.
  • Re-tighten bolted or assembled components after initial installation and during routine maintenance.
Product FAQ

Q: What is the main advantage of a cattle trough on legs?
A: The raised structure keeps the feed channel above the floor and provides better access underneath the feeder for routine cleaning.

Q: What are the reference dimensions?
A: The reference configuration is approximately 2440 mm long, 786 mm wide, 675 mm high and 230 mm deep.

Q: What type of legs are used?
A: The reference design uses straight steel legs with stable footplates.

Q: Is the trough reinforced?
A: Yes. The reference configuration incorporates two welded RHS reinforcement braces for additional structural strength.

Q: Can the trough dimensions be customized?
A: Yes. Length, width, trough depth, feeding height and structural specifications can be customized according to project requirements.

Q: Can it be used outdoors?
A: Yes. Galvanized construction makes the trough suitable for cattle yards and pasture feeding areas when correctly installed and maintained.

Q: Is an additional feed protection system available?
A: Optional protective accessories can be supplied where wildlife access or other farm-specific feed protection is required.

Q: What information is required for quotation?
A: Please provide cattle type, approximate animal size, herd size, feed type, required trough dimensions, installation environment and preferred surface treatment.
