Heavy-Duty Galvanized Calf Feed Trough

• Calf-Specific Feeding Height: The low-profile structure provides comfortable feed access for young cattle.
• Fully Welded Trough: Continuous welded construction makes the feeding pan suitable for dry feed and appropriate liquid feeding.
• Half-Round Feed Pan: Smooth curved geometry helps reduce inaccessible corners and simplifies cleaning.
• Diagonal Reinforcement: Structural braces below the trough increase rigidity and support the long feeding body.
• Hot-Dip Galvanized Finish: Provides corrosion protection for humid and demanding livestock-house environments.
• Long Linear Feeding Space: Allows several calves to access feed simultaneously.
• Freestanding Structure: Can be positioned independently inside calf pens or group-rearing areas.
• Simple Construction: No mechanical feeding components are required, reducing routine maintenance.
• Easy Sanitation: Open access and smooth internal surfaces simplify removal of residual feed and washing.
• Customizable: Length, reinforcement, feeding height and material configuration can be adapted according to project requirements.

• Half-Round Feed Pan: Long formed steel trough designed for calf starter, concentrate and liquid-feed applications.
• Welded End Panels: Close both ends of the trough and support liquid-feed containment.
• Structural Side Frame: Supports the trough body along its full length.
• Diagonal Strut Braces: Transfer trough loads toward the end supports and increase resistance to bending.
• Wide End Supports: Provide stable floor contact and help maintain the feeder in position.
• Hot-Dip Galvanized Surface: Protects the steel structure against normal livestock-house corrosion.

• Position the trough on a firm and level concrete floor or other stable feeding surface.
• Allow sufficient space around the feeding line for calves to approach without excessive competition.
• Check that both end supports sit evenly on the floor before filling the trough.
• Remove stale feed and residues regularly, particularly when liquid feed is used.
• Wash the half-round trough thoroughly between liquid feeding cycles according to the farm hygiene program.
• Inspect diagonal braces, welds, end supports and trough edges periodically for damage.
• Repair damaged galvanized areas promptly to reduce localized corrosion.
• Where prolonged contact with acidic or mineral-rich feed is expected, apply a suitable food-safe or non-toxic protective coating.
• Apply protective coating only when the trough is empty, clean and dry.
• Clean and dry the feeder before extended storage or prolonged periods of non-use.

Q: What is the reference size of the Heavy-Duty Calf Feed Trough?
A: The reference configuration is approximately 2440 mm long, 446 mm overall width and 466 mm high.

Q: What is the size of the feeding pan?
A: The reference half-round trough is approximately 315 mm wide and 200 mm deep.

Q: Can the trough be used for liquid feeding?
A: Yes. The reference design is fully welded and is suitable for appropriate liquid-feed applications.

Q: Why are diagonal braces installed below the trough?
A: The braces reinforce the long feeding pan and help transfer loads toward the end supports.

Q: Can it be used for dry calf starter?
A: Yes. The trough can also be used for calf starter, grain and concentrate according to the feeding program.

Q: Is it suitable for outdoor use?
A: Hot-dip galvanized construction provides good corrosion resistance, although regular inspection and maintenance are recommended for outdoor installations.

Q: Can the trough dimensions be customized?
A: Yes. Length, feeding height, reinforcement and material configuration can be customized according to project requirements.

Q: Can it be supplied as part of a complete calf-rearing project?
A: Yes. Trough dimensions and layouts can be coordinated with calf pens, feeding alleys, livestock housing and steel-structure farm projects.
