Polymer Concrete Sow Feeding Trough

The Polymer Concrete Sow Feeding Trough is a durable feeding solution for gestation, mating, farrowing and other commercial sow housing systems. Polymer concrete combines high structural strength with a smooth, non-corrosive feeding surface suitable for demanding livestock environments.

The curved internal profile provides convenient feed access and minimizes corners where feed residues can accumulate. The material resists moisture, feed acids, washing chemicals and mechanical wear, helping provide a long service life with limited maintenance.

The trough can be used with dry feed or compatible liquid-feeding systems and can be incorporated into individual sow stalls, group housing layouts and steel structure pig farm projects.

• Heavy-Duty Polymer Concrete: Designed to withstand mechanical loads and intensive commercial farm use.
• Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Resistant to moisture, feed ingredients, waste products and many common barn chemicals.
• Smooth Hygienic Surface: Helps reduce feed buildup and simplifies washing and sanitation.
• Animal-Friendly Profile: Rounded internal geometry provides comfortable access without unnecessary sharp edges.
• Reduced Feed Waste: Deep trough geometry helps retain feed within the feeding area.
• High Dimensional Stability: Rigid molded construction maintains its shape under normal livestock use.
• Dry and Liquid Feeding: Suitable configurations can be incorporated into different sow feeding concepts.
• Modular Installation: Individual sections, end sections and partitions can be combined according to project requirements.

• Polymer Concrete Trough Body: Main molded feeding section with a smooth curved interior.
• Raised Rear Wall: Helps retain feed and provides a practical interface with pen equipment.
• Front Feeding Edge: Designed to provide convenient access for the sow.
• End Sections: Available for terminating modular trough runs.
• Partitions: Optional dividers can create individual feeding spaces.
• Jointing System: Adjacent sections can be assembled using suitable polymer-concrete adhesive.
• Optional Support Components: Floor, frame or project-specific mounting arrangements are available.

Feed is delivered manually, through a volumetric dispenser or from an automatic dry or liquid feeding system. The smooth curved trough profile distributes the ration along the feeding area while helping reduce trapped residues.

The rigid polymer concrete structure transfers animal contact and feeding loads directly to the floor or support structure. Individual trough sections can be joined to create longer feeding runs or configured as individual sow feeding positions.

Installation:

• Confirm the required trough line, sow-stall spacing and feeding-system layout.
• Prepare a level and structurally suitable mounting surface.
• Position individual trough sections according to the approved layout.
• Join modular sections using compatible polymer-concrete adhesive where required.
• Install end sections and feeding-space partitions where specified.
• Connect dry-feed drop pipes or liquid-feed outlets according to the feeding design.
• Check alignment, joints and overall stability before commissioning.

Maintenance:

• Remove residual or spoiled feed regularly.
• Wash the smooth internal surface during routine barn sanitation.
• Inspect joints and end sections for movement or damage.
• Check feed outlets and drop pipes for blockage.
• Inspect the trough for abnormal impact damage during scheduled maintenance.
• Repair damaged joints with compatible materials according to installation instructions.

Q1: Why use polymer concrete for sow feeding troughs?

Polymer concrete combines high mechanical strength with resistance to moisture, feed acids, waste products and many common cleaning chemicals.

Q2: Is the trough suitable for sows?

Yes. Specific trough profiles are designed for sow applications including gestation, mating and farrowing areas.

Q3: Can the trough be used with liquid feeding?

Yes. Suitable polymer concrete troughs can be incorporated into both dry and liquid feeding systems.

Q4: Are different trough capacities available?

Yes. Different profiles and volumes can be selected according to animal category, feeding method and project requirements.

Q5: Can several sections be connected into a continuous trough?

Yes. Modular sections can be joined with compatible adhesive, with end sections and partitions added according to the barn layout.

Q6: Is polymer concrete easy to clean?

Yes. Its smooth internal surface and reduced number of joints help minimize feed residue accumulation and simplify cleaning.

Q7: Can the trough be integrated with automatic sow feeding?

Yes. It can be combined with volumetric dispensers, dry-feed drop pipes or compatible liquid-feeding outlets.

Q8: What information is required for a quotation?

Please provide the number of sows, stall or pen layout, required trough length, feeding method, desired capacity, feed-line arrangement and project location.
