Floor-Mounted Round Piglet Creep Feeder

The Floor-Mounted Round Piglet Creep Feeder is designed for introducing dry creep feed to suckling piglets while they remain in the farrowing pen. Its circular feeding area allows piglets to approach from all sides, making efficient use of the creep zone and supporting early feed intake before weaning.

A built-in divider structure helps organize feeding positions and discourages piglets from standing inside the trough. The raised feed-saving rim helps keep feed inside the bowl and reduces unnecessary wastage.

The feeder attaches directly to compatible slatted flooring using a spring-loaded J-hook. The push-and-turn locking principle allows quick installation and removal without permanent floor modification, making the feeder practical for commercial farrowing houses with frequent washing and batch turnover.

• Round design provides 360-degree feeding access for piglets.
• Designed for creep feeding in farrowing pens.
• Spring-loaded J-hook provides secure floor mounting.
• Push-and-turn installation allows fast attachment and removal.
• Feed-saving rim helps reduce feed pushed from the trough.
• Built-in dividers help keep piglets out of the feeding area.
• Watertight bowl can also accommodate suitable milk replacer or liquid supplements.
• Durable, non-corrosive molded construction for intensive pig-farm environments.
• Stainless steel hook and spring assembly provides corrosion resistance.
• Low-profile configuration available for younger or early-weaned piglets.
• Smooth surfaces simplify washing and disinfection.

• Round Feed Bowl: Provides an open circular feeding perimeter accessible from multiple directions.
• Feed-Saver Rim: Raised outer edge helps retain dry feed and liquid supplements.
• Radial Dividers: Separate the feeding area and help prevent piglets from climbing into the trough.
• Central Support Post: Connects the upper handle, divider assembly and floor-locking mechanism.
• Top Handle: Provides a convenient grip for installation, adjustment and removal.
• Direction Indicator: Shows the orientation of the hook beneath the flooring.
• Spring-Loaded J-Hook: Locks beneath compatible slatted flooring to hold the feeder securely in position.
• Spring Assembly: Maintains locking pressure while allowing quick release during removal.

The feeder is positioned in the protected creep area of the farrowing pen. The J-hook passes through an appropriate opening in the slatted floor and is rotated beneath the floor to secure the bowl.

The round trough remains stationary while several piglets feed around its circumference. Internal dividers help maintain individual feeding access and reduce contamination caused by animals standing in the ration.

When cleaning or relocating the feeder, the operator releases the spring-loaded locking mechanism and removes the complete unit from the floor.

Installation:

• Place the feeder inside the piglet creep area where the sow cannot easily step on or damage it.
• Confirm that the selected floor opening is compatible with the J-hook.
• Insert the hook through the slatted floor.
• Use the indicator on the handle to identify the hook direction beneath the floor.
• Push and rotate the locking assembly until the feeder is securely fixed.
• Check that the bowl remains level and stable before adding feed.

Maintenance:

• Offer small quantities of fresh creep feed and replenish frequently.
• Remove stale, wet or contaminated feed promptly.
• Release the feeder from the floor before thorough washing when practical.
• Clean the bowl, dividers and underside of the rim regularly.
• Inspect the stainless steel hook and spring for wear or deformation.
• Disinfect the complete feeder between litters according to farm biosecurity procedures.
• Allow the feeder to dry before adding fresh dry feed.

Q: What is the Floor-Mounted Round Piglet Creep Feeder used for?
A: It is designed to provide creep feed or compatible supplements to suckling piglets while they remain with the sow in the farrowing pen.

Q: Why use a round feeder?
A: The circular design allows piglets to approach from all sides and provides good accessibility within a compact creep area.

Q: How is the feeder secured?
A: A spring-loaded J-hook passes through compatible slatted flooring and locks underneath the floor using a push-and-turn action.

Q: Is a low-profile version available?
A: Yes. A comparable low-profile configuration is approximately 2.75 inches high and provides easier access for younger piglets.

Q: Can it be used for milk replacer?
A: Yes. The reference trough is watertight and can be used for suitable milk replacer when required.

Q: How does it help reduce feed waste?
A: The secure floor mounting prevents tipping, while the feed-saving rim and internal dividers help retain feed and discourage piglets from standing inside the trough.

Q: Can it fit different slatted floors?
A: Yes. Hook configurations can be selected according to the flooring system and project requirements.

Q: What information is required for a quotation?
A: Please provide required quantity, piglet age, preferred feeder profile, floor type, slat-opening dimensions, material requirements and project destination.
