Product Overview The Stainless Steel Pig Feeding Trough is designed for reliable feeding in commercial pig houses, including sow mating and gestation areas, farrowing facilities, gilt pens and other pig production sections.

The trough can be used with dry or liquid feeding systems and is manufactured from corrosion-resistant stainless steel for long service life under humid, acidic and frequently washed livestock-house conditions.

Its smooth internal surfaces, outward-rolled edges and anti-waste profile improve hygiene while helping reduce feed accumulation. Different lengths, trough profiles and mounting arrangements can be supplied according to pen design and feeding-system requirements.
Key Features
  • Stainless Steel Construction: Suitable for demanding commercial pig-house environments and frequent washing.
  • Dry and Liquid Feeding: Compatible with different feeding programs according to farm requirements.
  • Anti-Waste Trough Profile: Inverted edges help retain feed inside the trough.
  • Hygienic Rolled Edges: Edges are formed outward to maintain a smoother internal feeding surface.
  • Easy Cleaning: Smooth stainless steel surfaces reduce areas where feed residues can accumulate.
  • Flexible Length: Long trough sections can be adapted to different stall, pen and group-feeding layouts.
  • Lightweight Handling: Easier to transport and install than many concrete trough systems.
  • Multiple Mounting Options: Suitable for pen partitions, walls, support legs or suspended installations.
  • Commercial Farm Integration: Can be coordinated with automatic dry-feed or liquid-feeding systems.
Structural Components
  • Stainless Steel Trough Body: Forms the main feed-retaining and animal-contact surface.
  • Rolled Front and Rear Edges: Reinforce the trough and improve animal safety.
  • End Gables: Close both ends of the trough and can be welded or assembled according to configuration.
  • Support Brackets: Secure the trough to penning, walls or support structures.
  • Support Legs: Optional for suspended single or double trough systems.
  • Feed Downpipe Connection: Available for integration with compatible dry or liquid feeding systems.
  • Drain Outlet: Optional drain plug can simplify emptying and washing in selected configurations.
Structural Principle Feed is delivered manually or through an automatic feeding system into the open stainless steel trough. The continuous trough profile distributes feed along the feeding line and allows pigs to access the ration from their designated stall or pen position.

Inverted trough edges help limit feed being pushed out during eating, while the smooth internal profile reduces dead corners and makes removal of remaining feed easier.

For liquid-feeding installations, compatible downpipes can discharge directly into the trough. The trough can be elevated or suspended to simplify washing beneath the feeding equipment.

Installation & Maintenance Installation:
  • Confirm trough length, feeding height and pen layout before installation.
  • Install compatible support brackets, legs or partition mounting components.
  • Level the trough to ensure uniform feed distribution.
  • Secure all stainless steel fasteners and end pieces.
  • Connect feed downpipes where automatic feeding is required.
  • Install drain components where specified.
  • Check that feeding edges are accessible without interfering with gates or pen equipment.
Maintenance:
  • Remove stale feed and residues regularly.
  • Wash and disinfect the trough according to the farm hygiene program.
  • Clean underneath suspended troughs to prevent manure accumulation.
  • Inspect brackets, support legs and fasteners for looseness.
  • Check liquid-feed downpipes and drains for blockage where applicable.
  • Repair or replace mechanically damaged trough components when required.
Product FAQ

Q: Can the trough be used for sow feeding?
A: Yes. Long stainless steel troughs are commonly used in mating, gestation and other sow housing systems.

Q: Is it suitable for both dry and liquid feed?
A: Yes. Compatible configurations can be used with dry, mash and liquid feeding systems.

Q: Why are the trough edges rolled outward?
A: The design provides a smoother internal surface, helps reduce areas where feed can accumulate and improves animal safety.

Q: How does the trough help reduce feed waste?
A: The inverted edge profile helps retain feed inside the trough when pigs eat and move feed with their snouts.

Q: Are custom lengths available?
A: Yes. Length and trough profile can be selected according to stall dimensions, group size and feeding-system layout.

Q: Can the trough be installed above the floor?
A: Yes. Suspended and support-leg configurations can leave clearance underneath for easier cleaning.

Q: Can a drain outlet be added?
A: Yes. Drain plugs are available for selected trough configurations to simplify emptying and washing.

Q: What information is required for quotation?
A: Recommended information includes animal type, trough length, pen dimensions, feed type, single or double configuration, mounting method, feeding-system layout and project quantity.
