Plastic Linear Chick Feeder

The Plastic Linear Chick Feeder is a compact starter feeding trough designed for young chicks during brooding and early rearing. Its elongated structure provides feeding access from both sides, allowing multiple chicks to eat simultaneously while helping maintain an organized feeding area.

Manufactured from flexible PP copolymer, the feeder combines low weight with good impact resistance and remains suitable for regular livestock equipment use under varying poultry house temperatures. The removable or hinged upper feeding grid provides convenient filling, cleaning and daily flock management.

• Multi-Access Feeding: Feeding openings along both sides provide convenient access for groups of young chicks.
• PP Copolymer Construction: Flexible plastic provides good resistance to impact and routine poultry house handling.
• Anti-Waste Top Grid: Separated feeding openings help reduce scratching, stepping into the feed and unnecessary feed loss.
• Low-Profile Design: Suitable for young chicks during the brooding and starter feeding period.
• Easy Opening: The upper section can be opened for convenient feed filling and cleaning.
• Lightweight Handling: Easy to distribute, reposition and collect during poultry house preparation and flock management.
• Reusable Construction: Suitable for washing, disinfection and repeated use between production cycles.

• Feed Trough: Elongated lower container used to hold starter feed.
• Feeding Grid: Upper cover with individual openings that separates chick feeding positions.
• Opening Mechanism: Allows the top section to be opened for filling and cleaning.
• Raised Side Walls: Help retain feed inside the trough during normal chick feeding activity.
• Molded Plastic Body: One-piece or modular PP construction designed for simple handling and maintenance.

Dry starter feed is manually placed inside the linear trough. Chicks access the feed through the openings in the upper grid from either side of the feeder.

The grid limits direct entry into the feed compartment, helping reduce contamination from litter and minimizing feed scattering. The feeder requires no electricity, motor or automatic control system.

Place the feeders evenly throughout the brooding area on a clean and level floor. Feeder quantity and spacing should be selected according to chick numbers, stocking density and the farm's brooding management program.

For cleaning, open the upper grid, remove residual feed and litter, wash the plastic components and allow them to dry completely before refilling. Inspect hinges, clips and molded components regularly for damage during intensive commercial use.

Q: What age of poultry is this feeder designed for?
A: It is primarily designed for chicks during brooding and early starter feeding. Final feeder selection should match chick size and management requirements.

Q: How does the upper grid reduce feed waste?
A: The individual feeding openings limit chicks from entering or scratching directly inside the feed trough, helping keep more starter feed inside the feeder.

Q: Is the feeder easy to clean?
A: Yes. The top section can be opened, providing access to the trough for feed removal, washing and disinfection.

Q: Are different lengths available?
A: Yes. Reference versions include approximately 30 cm and 50 cm lengths, with other configurations available according to project requirements.
