Product Overview

The Large Round Chick Feed Tray is designed for convenient and hygienic feeding during the first stage of chick rearing. Its large circular feeding surface allows many chicks to reach starter feed simultaneously, helping reduce crowding and competition during critical early brooding.

The low-profile polypropylene tray provides easy access for young birds and is lightweight, corrosion-resistant and simple to clean. It can be used as supplementary feeding equipment in commercial broiler houses, layer chick facilities, breeder rearing houses and other poultry livestock equipment projects.

Key Features
  • Large 49 cm Feeding Area: Provides generous circular access for multiple chicks at the same time.
  • Low 5.5 cm Rim: Allows young chicks to reach feed easily during the early brooding period.
  • Reduced Competition: Wide feeding space helps distribute chicks around the tray instead of concentrating them at a small feeding point.
  • Feed-Waste Control: Raised tray edges help retain feed during normal chick feeding activity.
  • Durable PP Construction: High-quality polypropylene offers good impact resistance, moisture resistance and long service life.
  • Easy Cleaning: Smooth plastic surfaces allow feed residues to be removed quickly during poultry-house sanitation.
  • Lightweight Handling: Easy to distribute, collect and reposition during brooding-house preparation.
  • No Installation Required: The tray can be placed directly in the chick brooding area without electrical or mechanical components.
  • Commercial Brooding Application: Suitable as temporary or supplementary feeding equipment before chicks fully transition to automatic poultry feeding lines.
Structural Components
  • Round Tray Base: Large flat feeding surface for distributing chick starter feed.
  • Low Entry Rim: Provides easy access for newly placed chicks while helping retain feed.
  • Integrated Plastic Body: One-piece or simplified molded construction minimizes loose components.
  • Smooth Feeding Surface: Supports practical feed distribution and convenient washing between flocks.
Working Principle

Chick starter feed is manually distributed across the open tray surface. The large diameter presents feed over a broad area so chicks can approach from all directions and begin eating quickly after placement.

The low rim improves accessibility for small chicks, while the raised perimeter helps contain feed inside the tray. As chicks become familiar with the poultry-house feeding system, the trays can gradually be removed according to the farm's brooding and feeding program.

Installation & Maintenance

Installation: Place the chick feed trays evenly throughout the brooding area before chick placement. Position them close to the primary feeding system so chicks can easily locate feed and gradually become familiar with automatic feeder pans or other permanent feeding equipment.

Maintenance: Remove wet or contaminated feed promptly. Empty and wash the trays regularly during the brooding period and thoroughly clean and disinfect them between flocks. Allow all trays to dry before stacking or returning them to service.
