This design coupled with modern materials and quality manufacturing, result in a product, second to none in the market place. Unlike many rivals, this feeder will not dribble feed when knocked by an animal, intentionally or otherwise, therefore protective barriers are not necessary to install. The feeder will give many years of trouble free performance and can be coupled with an automatic identification system any time in the future.
This low level concept is an advantage when the feed hopper needs to be refilled manually or by an auger system, as the height from the ground to the top of the hopper when installed, can be as low as 1.85 meters (approx. 6’0”). This low level design is also an advantage when the feeders need to be installed in a lean-to building which may have one very low side. This long low-level design also prevents some heifers from jumping up into the manger trough whilst they become familiar with the milking process.
The large hopper can accommodate one hundred kilos of feed (depending on type) . The hopper comes complete with a vermin / bird proof removable lid.
