Sow Feeding Trough

The Sow Feeding Trough is designed for farrowing crates, loose-housed farrowing pens, insemination stalls and other commercial sow housing systems. Its deep feeding area provides convenient access to feed while helping contain the ration and reduce unnecessary feed loss.

Stainless steel construction offers excellent resistance to moisture, feed acids and frequent washing. Smooth internal surfaces, rounded corners and sealed edges improve hygiene and simplify routine cleaning.

The trough can be integrated with manual feeding, volumetric dispensers, automatic dry-feed systems or suitable liquid-feeding arrangements according to project requirements.

• Stainless Steel Construction: Provides corrosion resistance and long service life in demanding sow-house environments.
• Hygienic Deep-Drawn Design: Smooth internal surfaces reduce blind corners and areas where feed residues can accumulate.
• Rounded Animal-Safe Edges: Rolled and sealed edges improve strength while reducing sharp animal-contact points.
• Low Feed Waste: Deep trough geometry helps retain dry or liquid feed within the feeding area.
• Easy Cleaning: Open access and smooth stainless steel surfaces simplify washing and disinfection.
• Flexible Mounting: Wall, panel, pen-bar and farrowing-crate mounting options can be supplied.
• Dry or Liquid Feeding: Suitable configurations can be integrated with different commercial sow feeding systems.
• Optional Tilting Function: Tiltable configurations can simplify emptying and cleaning in farrowing pens.

• Trough Body: Deep stainless steel bowl forming the main feed-holding area.
• Rolled Upper Edge: Reinforces the trough and creates a smooth animal-contact surface.
• Mounting Holes: Allow connection to compatible support brackets and pen structures.
• Mounting Brackets: Available for walls, board profiles, steel bars or farrowing equipment.
• Optional Water Connection: Can be coordinated with a sow drinking nipple or water supply system.
• Optional Tilt Assembly: Handle and pivot components allow selected troughs to be emptied without difficult manual lifting.

Feed is delivered into the trough manually, through a volumetric sow dispenser or from a compatible automatic feeding system. The deep bowl retains the ration within easy reach of the sow.

The trough is securely mounted at the front or corner of the sow stall or farrowing pen. Optional water and tilting components can be integrated to support drinking, trough emptying and efficient cleaning according to the farm layout.

Installation:

• Confirm trough position, sow access and compatibility with the farrowing crate or pen structure.
• Select the appropriate wall, panel or steel-bar mounting kit.
• Secure the trough at a height and position suitable for the sow and feeding system.
• Connect automatic feed delivery or water components where required.
• Check all brackets, bolts and moving tilt components before commissioning.

Maintenance:

• Remove leftover feed regularly to prevent spoilage.
• Wash and disinfect the trough between farrowing batches.
• Inspect mounting brackets and fasteners for looseness.
• Check drinking nipples and water connections for leakage where fitted.
• Inspect tilting mechanisms periodically and replace worn components when necessary.

Q1: What is the typical capacity of a sow feeding trough?

A common reference capacity for individual farrowing sow troughs is approximately 21 liters, while other sizes can be supplied according to project requirements.

Q2: Can the trough be used for dry and liquid feed?

Yes. Suitable stainless steel trough configurations can be integrated with dry feeding, wet feeding or compatible liquid-feeding systems.

Q3: Why use a deep-drawn stainless steel trough?

A deep-drawn construction can minimize welds, blind corners and sharp internal edges, helping improve hygiene and reduce leakage points.

Q4: Can the trough be mounted directly on a farrowing crate?

Yes. Suitable bracket kits can be supplied for steel bars, pen panels, walls and farrowing-crate structures.

Q5: Is a tiltable trough available?

Yes. Tiltable configurations can make emptying and cleaning easier and more ergonomic for farm staff.

Q6: Can a drinking nipple be integrated?

Yes. The trough can be coordinated with a sow drinking nipple or compatible water supply system according to the farrowing-pen design.

Q7: What information is required for a quotation?

Please provide the sow housing type, trough quantity, required capacity, feeding method, mounting structure, water-supply requirements, preferred material and project location.
