These sturdy feeders are manufactured with a stainless steel frame and a ten setting feed flow adjustment as standard, together with a pig operated feed agitator. The weaner feeder has a plastic trough while the finisher feeder has a polymer concrete trough. A stainless-steel trough is available on request. The feeders can be sited in a ‘stand-alone’ position or can be integrated within pen divisions. A larger capacity double hopper feeder is available to cater for greater numbers of pigs.

Why use a dry wet feedr?Should i add water to Pig’s mash?

There is no cost-effectiveness in soaking grains and consequently, it is a waste of time.
Adding water to mash diets in the ratio 2:1 (water: food) on a volume basis makes them readily eaten by pigs and you will avoid loss of dry food through spillage.
The digestibility of wet diets is slightly higher (1-2% improvement) and this is not considerable.
Moistening, which is limited to producing a diet with a dough-like consistency, is itself to be recommended.
Excessive moistening beyond this to form a gruel may give negative effects as dry matter intake might suffer.
