Product Overview

The Broiler Breeder Hen Feeder Pan is designed for controlled feeding of female broiler breeders in commercial breeder houses. Its multi-access pan structure provides numerous feeding positions around the feeder, allowing hens to consume their ration simultaneously while supporting flock uniformity and efficient feed management.

The feeder can be incorporated into automatic auger feeding systems using straight-line or loop layouts. Feed is distributed rapidly to the pans so hens receive consistent access to the specified ration during restricted feeding programs.

Adjustable grill openings, feed-level control and female-restriction configurations help improve hen access while limiting competition from larger roosters. Pan size, grill geometry, feed-pipe connection and feeding-space configuration can be supplied according to project requirements.

Key Features
  • Breeder Hen Design: Developed for controlled feeding programs in broiler breeder production.
  • Multiple Feeding Spaces: Circular multi-access pan provides extensive perimeter feeding space.
  • Uniform Feed Delivery: Automatic feeding lines distribute ration consistently throughout the breeder house.
  • Rapid Pan Filling: Suitable for restricted feeding programs where simultaneous feed access is important.
  • Female-Only Feeding Option: Adjustable grill dimensions can help restrict larger males from consuming hen feed.
  • Reduced Feed Waste: Built-in catch areas and feed-retaining pan geometry help keep dropped feed inside the feeder.
  • Adjustable Feed Level: Feed depth can be regulated according to breeder age and feeding program.
  • Comfortable Bird Access: Open grill structure provides convenient head access around the feeder perimeter.
  • Durable Polymer Construction: Corrosion-resistant components are suited to demanding poultry-house environments.
  • Automatic Line Compatibility: Designed for integration with feed pipes, augers, suspension systems and control equipment.
Structural Components
  • Breeder feeder bottom pan
  • Multi-opening feeder grill
  • Female-restriction adjustment mechanism
  • Central feed cone
  • Dual feed inlet configuration according to system design
  • Feed-level adjustment components
  • Height limiter ring according to configuration
  • Feed-saving fins
  • Feed catch area
  • Feed-pipe attachment
  • Pan locking components
  • Optional individual shut-off
  • Suspension and anti-roost accessories
Working Principle / Structural Principle

Feed is conveyed through the automatic breeder feeding line and discharged into each feeder pan. The central distribution structure guides the ration evenly around the pan circumference so multiple hens can feed at the same time.

In restricted breeder feeding programs, the system can retain feed in the delivery tube before feeding begins. When the system starts, feed is delivered rapidly to the pans to provide similar access across the flock.

Adjustable grill openings and height-restriction components can be set according to hen body size. This helps maintain female access while reducing competition from larger males.

Applications
  • Broiler breeder production houses
  • Female breeder feeding systems
  • Restricted breeder feeding programs
  • Mixed male and female breeder houses
  • Commercial hatching-egg farms
  • Floor-reared breeder facilities
  • Environmentally controlled poultry houses
  • Steel structure poultry buildings
  • New poultry farm construction
  • Automatic breeder feeding system renovation

The feeder pan is particularly suitable for breeder farms where ration quantity and feeding time must be closely controlled. Multiple pans installed along an automatic line allow breeder hens to access feed simultaneously.

For complete poultry farm projects, the feeding system can be integrated with feed silos, auger conveyors, nipple drinking lines, nest systems, ventilation equipment, lighting and environmental control systems.

Customization Options
  • Pan diameter and geometry
  • Number of feeding openings
  • Female-restriction grill
  • Grill opening width
  • Grill opening height
  • Height limiter ring
  • Feed-level adjustment range
  • Feed-saving pan geometry
  • Central feed cone
  • Single or dual feed inlet
  • Individual pan shut-off
  • Feed-pipe connection size
  • Pan spacing
  • Suspension accessories
  • OEM configuration available upon request

The feeder pan can be configured according to breeder strain, hen size, ration program, poultry-house layout and project requirements.

Installation & Maintenance

Feed Line Planning: Determine feeder quantity and spacing according to breeder numbers, stocking density and required eating space.

Pan Assembly: Install the feeder pan, grill, feed cone and adjustment components on the compatible feed pipe.

Grill Adjustment: Set feeding-window dimensions according to the breeder strain and female body size.

Feed Level Setting: Adjust the feed control mechanism to provide the required ration without excessive feed accumulation.

Line Height: Maintain the suspended feeder line at a suitable height for comfortable hen access.

System Testing: Run the feeding line before flock use and verify rapid, uniform filling of all feeder pans.

Routine Cleaning: Remove feed dust and residue from pans, grills and feed openings between production cycles.

Regular Inspection: Check pan locks, grills, feed cones, suspension components and feed-pipe connections for wear or damage.

Project Cases

Broiler breeder hen feeder pans are suitable for commercial breeder farms using controlled daily or restricted feeding programs where rapid ration distribution is essential for flock uniformity.

Female-restriction configurations can be combined with separate rooster feeding systems to manage male and female rations independently within the same breeder house.

For new steel structure poultry projects, feeder quantity, feed-line routing, suspension points and feed-delivery capacity can be coordinated during the equipment design stage.

Product FAQ

Q1: What is a broiler breeder hen feeder pan?
It is an automatic poultry feed pan designed for controlled feeding of female broiler breeders.

Q2: How many hens can use one feeder pan?
A comparable GENESIS breeder feeder is designed for approximately 15–18 hens, with around 16 birds recommended.

Q3: Can the feeder prevent roosters from eating hen feed?
Yes. Adjustable grill openings and height-limit components can help restrict larger males.
