Compact Round Nursery Pig Feeder

• Compact Round Design: Provides a high number of feeding positions within a relatively small floor area.
• 360-Degree Feed Access: Piglets can approach the trough from all directions.
• Mechanical Feed Delivery: Pig interaction with the feed wheel activates controlled feed movement.
• Reduced Feed Waste: Feed is supplied on demand instead of continuously overflowing by gravity.
• Self-Cleaning Trough: Round geometry and feed-wheel movement help prevent stale feed accumulation.
• Separated Feeding Positions: Radial dividers organize piglet access around the trough.
• Corrosion-Resistant Options: Galvanized, zinc-plated and stainless steel components are available upon request.
• Easy Pen Installation: Anchor brackets secure the feeder to compatible nursery flooring.

• Feed Hopper: Stores dry nursery feed above the dispensing mechanism.
• Conical Feed Section: Directs feed toward the mechanical outlet.
• Feed Wheel: Transfers feed outward when activated by piglets.
• Feed Sweep: Helps distribute feed and clean the trough during operation.
• Round Trough: Provides continuous feeding access around the feeder perimeter.
• Radial Cage Dividers: Create individual feeding positions and stabilize the lower structure.
• Feed Flow Control: Adjusts the internal feed-delivery setting.
• Anchor Brackets: Secure the feeder to compatible floor structures.

• Select a location that provides unobstructed access around the circular trough.
• Position the feeder on a level section of concrete or compatible slatted flooring.
• Install the specified anchor brackets and verify feeder stability.
• Adjust the initial feed-flow setting according to feed characteristics.
• Place a small amount of feed in the trough when introducing piglets to the mechanical system.

• Inspect the feed wheel and sweep regularly for free movement.
• Remove old or compacted feed before refilling when necessary.
• Wash and disinfect the trough and hopper between nursery groups.
• Inspect cage dividers, anchors and fasteners periodically.
• Check the feed-flow control and adjust it when feed characteristics change.
• Replace worn mechanical components when required.

Q: What makes a round nursery feeder different from a rectangular feeder?
A: The circular trough provides access around the entire feeder and spreads pigs radially, helping reduce crowding at the feeding edge.

Q: How does the mechanical feed system work?
A: Piglets move the feed wheel or sweep, which transfers a controlled amount of feed from the hopper into the trough.

Q: Does feed continuously flow by gravity?
A: No. The mechanical-flow design restricts uncontrolled gravity delivery and relies on animal interaction to release feed.

Q: How many pigs can a compact feeder serve?
A: The referenced RN4-size configuration is designed for up to approximately 25 nursery pigs.

Q: What is the reference feed capacity?
A: The compact reference configuration holds approximately 50-52 lb, or about 24-25 kg, depending on feed density.

Q: Can stainless steel components be supplied?
A: Yes. 304 stainless steel component configurations are available according to project requirements.

Q: What information is required for quotation?
A: Recommended information includes pig age and weight, pigs per pen, number of pens, flooring type, required feeder capacity, preferred metal finish and project quantity.
