Stainless Steel Piglet Feeding Trough

• Stainless Steel Construction: Durable and corrosion-resistant for humid pig-house environments.
• Piglet-Friendly Access: Low trough profile allows suckling and young weaned pigs to reach feed easily.
• Multiple Feeding Spaces: Dividers help organize feeding and reduce excessive competition.
• Anti-Perch Design: Optional obstruction bar helps prevent piglets from standing or lying in the trough.
• Reduced Feed Waste: Inward or inverted trough edges help retain feed inside the feeding area.
• Hygienic Surface: Smooth stainless steel minimizes residue accumulation and simplifies sanitation.
• Secure Mounting: Tension hooks or mounting brackets can hold the trough securely in the piglet area.
• Flexible Feeding: Suitable for creep feed, starter diets and compatible wet or liquid feeding applications.

• Stainless Steel Trough Body: Forms the main hygienic feeding surface.
• Feeding Dividers: Separate the trough into individual piglet feeding positions.
• Anti-Perch Bar: Limits piglets from entering or resting inside the trough.
• Rolled or Formed Edges: Improve safety and help retain feed.
• End Plates: Close both ends and reinforce the trough body.
• Tension Hooks: Provide fast attachment to compatible pen or slatted-floor structures.
• Optional Mounting Brackets: Allow partition, wall or project-specific installation.

• Suckling pig supplementary feeding
• Pre-weaning starter-feed programs
• Early nursery and weaner pens
• Dry, wet or liquid piglet feeding systems
• Commercial sow and piglet farms

• Trough length, width and depth
• Number of feeding spaces
• Feeding divider spacing
• Stainless steel thickness
• Anti-perch or obstruction bar
• Tension-hook configuration
• Wall or pen-partition mounting
• Dry or liquid-feeding configuration
• Integration with farrowing pen equipment

• Select a position that provides easy piglet access without interfering with the sow or farrowing equipment.
• Secure the trough with compatible tension hooks or mounting brackets.
• Check that the trough is level and cannot move when piglets push against it.
• Position the feeding edge at a suitable height for the target piglet age.
• Verify that dividers and obstruction bars are securely fastened before use.

• Remove stale feed before adding fresh creep or starter feed.
• Wash and disinfect the trough regularly and between production batches.
• Inspect hooks, brackets and dividers for looseness or damage.
• Keep corners and divider connections free from compacted feed.
• Check stainless steel surfaces for mechanical damage during routine barn inspection.

Q: What is the main purpose of a piglet feeding trough?
A: It provides suckling or newly weaned piglets with convenient access to creep feed, starter feed or supplementary diets.

Q: Why use stainless steel?
A: Stainless steel provides good corrosion resistance, smooth hygienic surfaces and durability under frequent washing and disinfection.

Q: Why are feeding dividers used?
A: Dividers organize piglets into individual feeding positions and help reduce crowding at the trough.

Q: What does the anti-perch bar do?
A: It helps prevent piglets from standing or lying inside the trough, supporting better feed hygiene.

Q: Can the trough be used in farrowing pens?
A: Yes. It is particularly suitable for piglet creep areas in conventional or loose-housing farrowing systems.

Q: Can it be used for liquid feed?
A: Stainless steel troughs can be configured for dry or liquid feeding where the feeding system and trough design are compatible.

Q: Are different lengths available?
A: Yes. Trough length and feeding-space quantity can be customized according to pen dimensions and piglet group size.

Q: What information is required for quotation?
A: Recommended information includes piglet age, pigs per pen, trough length, required feeding spaces, feed type, mounting method and project quantity.
