Multi-Space Nursery Dry Feeder

The Multi-Space Nursery Dry Feeder is designed for ad libitum feeding of weaned pigs in commercial nursery houses. Multiple feeding positions allow several piglets to eat simultaneously, while the adjustable feed opening helps maintain consistent feed availability and control wastage.

The feeder can be configured with feeding spaces on one or both sides and manufactured from stainless steel or a combination of stainless steel and durable plastic. It is suitable for pellets, granules, crumbles and meal feed and can be filled manually or connected to an automatic dry-feed delivery system.

• Multi-Space Feeding: Several feeding positions improve simultaneous access for nursery pigs.
• Ad Libitum Dry Feeding: Maintains continuous access to dry feed throughout the nursery period.
• Adjustable Feed Flow: Mechanical adjustment allows feed presentation to be matched to pig size and ration characteristics.
• Reduced Feed Waste: Purpose-designed trough geometry helps keep feed inside the feeding area.
• Hygienic Trough Design: Open feeding areas simplify visual inspection, cleaning and sanitation.
• Corrosion-Resistant Construction: Stainless steel components are suitable for humid commercial pig-house environments.
• Single- or Double-Sided Layout: Suitable for wall-side installation or integration between adjacent pens.
• Automatic Feed-Line Compatible: Can be integrated with suitable dry-feed conveying systems according to project requirements.

• Feed Hopper: Stores dry nursery feed above the dispensing area.
• Adjustable Feed Gate: Regulates feed movement from the hopper into the trough.
• Feeding-Space Dividers: Separate feeding positions and help organize pig access.
• Dry Feed Trough: Specially shaped feeding surface designed for hygiene and reduced feed loss.
• Side and End Panels: Provide structural rigidity and help contain feed.
• Mounting Structure: Allows free-standing installation or integration into the pig pen partition.

Dry feed enters the hopper manually or through an automatic feeding line and moves downward by gravity toward the adjustable dispensing opening.

The feed gate controls the quantity presented in the trough. Pigs consume feed from individual spaces, while correct adjustment maintains continuous feed availability without unnecessarily overfilling the trough.
