| Product Overview |
The Small Goat Feed Trough is a compact, portable feeding unit designed for goats, sheep and other compatible small livestock. The hanging configuration allows the feeder to be positioned on suitable livestock panels, fence rails, stall partitions or other farm fixtures without requiring a permanent floor installation.
The impact-resistant plastic body provides a durable solution for everyday livestock feeding, while the integrated mounting brackets keep the trough securely supported during use. A practical pouring edge and carrying handle simplify filling, emptying and repositioning.
Its compact footprint makes it particularly suitable for individual feeding stations, kidding pens, small group housing and flexible livestock management areas. For commercial farm and agricultural engineering projects, dimensions, capacity, material specification, colour and mounting configuration can be customized according to project requirements. |
| Key Features |
- Compact hanging design saves floor space and creates a defined feeding point.
- Impact-resistant plastic construction is suitable for routine livestock housing applications.
- Stable integrated plastic brackets provide convenient attachment to compatible rails and panels.
- Portable configuration allows the feeder to be moved between pens, stalls and livestock areas.
- Smooth internal surfaces support easier feed removal and routine cleaning.
- Practical pouring edge facilitates filling and emptying of the trough.
- Integrated handle makes manual carrying and repositioning more convenient.
- Suitable for concentrate feed, grain, pellets and other appropriate supplementary rations.
- Can be integrated with modular livestock fencing and selected steel-supported farm structures.
- Available in project-specific configurations for distributors, contractors and farm equipment suppliers.

| Structural Components |
- Feed Trough Body: Molded plastic container forms the main feed-holding chamber.
- Integrated Hanging Brackets: Stable brackets support attachment to compatible livestock panels, rails and partitions.
- Feed Rim: The formed upper edge provides convenient access and helps retain feed inside the trough.
- Pouring Edge: A shaped edge assists controlled filling, emptying and feed handling.
- Carrying Handle: Integrated grip facilitates manual handling and relocation.
- Reinforced Support Areas: Molded structural sections around the mounting points help distribute the load to the supporting fixture.

| Working Principle / Structural Principle |
The feeder is suspended from a suitable rail, fence member, livestock panel, stall partition or other compatible fixture. The integrated brackets transfer the load of the feeder and its contents to the supporting structure, keeping the feed container elevated from the floor.
Concentrate feed or other suitable ration is placed directly into the trough. Livestock access the feed from the open upper section while the elevated position helps maintain a more defined and organized feeding area.
The hanging arrangement is well suited to flexible pen layouts because the feeder can be installed or relocated without modifying the permanent floor or building structure. The supporting fixture should be adequately designed for the expected operating load and local farm conditions. |

| Installation & Maintenance |
Installation:
- Select a firm and compatible rail, livestock panel, fence member or stall partition.
- Confirm that the supporting fixture matches the bracket dimensions and thickness requirements.
- Position the trough at a suitable feeding height according to animal size and farm management.
- Engage all mounting brackets fully and check that the feeder remains stable before loading feed.
- For permanent farm installations, verify the supporting structure has adequate load-bearing capacity.
Maintenance:
- Remove residual feed regularly as part of the livestock hygiene program.
- Clean the internal feeding surface using cleaning procedures suitable for the selected plastic material.
- Inspect the mounting brackets and support points for cracking, deformation or excessive wear.
- Check the feeder after impact or heavy livestock activity.
- Replace damaged components when necessary to maintain safe feeding conditions.
