Two-Sided Nursery Wet-Dry Feeder

The Two-Sided Nursery Wet-Dry Feeder is designed for newly weaned and nursery pigs that require reliable access to both feed and water during the transition from milk to solid diets. Pigs can consume dry feed from the feed shelf or combine feed with water in the lower trough according to their feeding behavior.

The double-sided configuration provides feeding access from both sides of the unit, making it suitable for installation between adjacent pens or in high-capacity nursery layouts. A stainless steel hopper, adjustable feed-control mechanism and integrated water line create a compact feeding station for intensive pig production.

The feeder can be coordinated with plastic slatted floors, concrete slats, pen gates, automatic feed delivery systems and steel structure pig houses according to project requirements.

• Wet-Dry Feeding: Allows pigs to eat dry feed or combine feed and water directly in the trough.
• Two-Sided Access: Feeding spaces on both sides improve feeder utilization and support efficient nursery pen layouts.
• 304 Stainless Steel Construction: Reference designs use corrosion-resistant stainless steel suitable for humid livestock environments.
• Adjustable Feed Flow: Mechanical adjustment allows feed delivery to be matched to pig size, diet characteristics and consumption level.
• Integrated Water Supply: Nipple drinkers positioned in the trough allow pigs to create the desired wet-feed consistency.
• Reduced Feed and Water Waste: Controlled delivery helps limit excessive feed accumulation and unnecessary water discharge.
• Animal-Safe Construction: Folded and protected edges help minimize sharp animal-contact points.
• Flexible Mounting: Suitable mounting solutions can be provided for concrete floors, concrete slats, plastic nursery flooring and gate installations.
• Commercial Nursery Application: Suitable for large-scale piglet nursery houses and integrated swine production projects.

• Feed Hopper: Stainless steel storage chamber for dry nursery feed.
• Feed Shelf: Provides controlled access to dry feed before it enters the wet feeding area.
• Two-Sided Feeding Trough: Allows pigs to access feed from both sides of the feeder.
• Feed Space Dividers: Separate feeding positions and help organize pig access.
• Feed Adjustment Mechanism: Controls the opening between the hopper and feed shelf.
• Nipple Drinkers: Supply water directly into the trough area.
• One-Piece Water Line: Simplifies water connection and reduces unnecessary connection points.
• Mounting Points: Multiple holes and fixing positions support different installation methods.
• Optional Feed Tube Holder: Connects the feeder to an automatic feed delivery line where required.

Dry feed enters the stainless steel hopper manually or through an automatic feed line. The adjustable dispensing opening meters feed onto the lower shelf where pigs can consume it in dry form.

Water nipples are positioned in the lower trough. When pigs activate a nipple, water enters the feeding area and can be mixed with feed according to individual consumption behavior.

Because both sides of the feeder are accessible, one centrally positioned unit can serve pigs from two sides while helping optimize floor area and feeding-space distribution in commercial nursery houses.

Installation:

• Confirm feeder position, pen layout, floor type and pig access from both sides.
• Install the correct mounting brackets for concrete, slatted flooring or gate installation.
• Level and securely fasten the feeder to prevent movement during pig use.
• Connect the vertical water line and verify suitable operating pressure.
• Connect the feed tube where an automatic delivery system is used.
• Set the initial feed opening according to pig size and feed characteristics.
• Test water nipples, feed flow and all fasteners before introducing pigs.

Maintenance:

• Remove stale or wet feed buildup from shelves and troughs regularly.
• Check nipple drinkers and water lines for blockage or leakage.
• Adjust feed flow as pig consumption and diet characteristics change.
• Inspect rivets, dividers, mounting brackets and structural joints periodically.
• Wash and disinfect the feeder between production batches.
• Check automatic feed-line connections and water regulators during scheduled maintenance.

Q1: What is a wet-dry nursery pig feeder?

It combines dry-feed delivery with drinking nipples in the feeding trough, allowing pigs to consume dry feed or mix feed and water while eating.

Q2: What is the advantage of a two-sided feeder?

Pigs can access the feeder from both sides, allowing one unit to provide multiple feeding positions and making efficient use of pen floor space.

Q3: Is the feeder suitable for newly weaned pigs?

Yes. Wet-dry nursery feeders are designed to support the transition from milk feeding to solid nursery diets.

Q4: Can feed flow be adjusted?

Yes. An adjustable feed gate allows the delivery rate to be matched to pig size, feed characteristics and consumption level.

Q5: Can the feeder connect to an automatic feed line?

Yes. Feed tube holders and hopper connections can be supplied for compatible automatic feed delivery systems.

Q6: Can it be installed on plastic slatted flooring?

Yes. Appropriate mounting brackets can be selected for plastic nursery flooring, concrete slats, solid concrete or gate installation.

Q7: Can feeder dimensions be customized?

Yes. Length, feeding-space quantity, hopper configuration and mounting arrangement can be customized according to project requirements.

Q8: What information is required for a quotation?

Please provide the number of nursery pigs, target pig weight, pigs per pen, pen dimensions, floor type, feeding method, water pressure conditions, required feeder quantity and project location.
