What size stainless steel feed tank should be selected for finishing pigs?
As a feeding equipment in modern pig farms, stainless steel fertilizer tanks have been widely used in many pig farms. The stainless steel feed tank for fattening pigs is divided into two specifications: single sided and double sided. Many pig farmers do not know how to choose the size when purchasing the feed tank? Today, the editor will tell you something
Generally speaking, one hole in a stainless steel finishing pig feed tank can feed 5-6 finishing pigs. Then we can calculate the number of pigs according to the size of the fattening pen on the pig farm, so that we can calculate the hole position of the feed tank required, and thus we can obtain the size of the fertilizer tank.
Specification for stainless steel feeding trough for single sided finishing pigs
Single side 3-hole 900 * 450 * 900mm Single side 4-hole 1040 * 450 * 900mm
Single side 5-hole 1250 * 450 * 900mm enlarged single side 5-hole 1500 * 450 * 900mm single side 7-hole 1800 * 450 * 900mm
Specification for stainless steel feeding trough for double sided finishing pigs
Double sided 6-hole 900 * 735 * 900mm Double sided 8-hole 1040 * 735 * 900mm
Double sided 10 holes 1250 * 735 * 900mm Extra large double sided 10 holes 1500 * 735 * 900mm Double sided 14 holes 1800 * 735 * 900mm
Double sided 16 holes 2000 * 735 * 900mm
The stainless steel fertilizer tank is trusted by pig farms due to its material saving design. Pigs in the fattening stage grow faster, and their feed intake increases with the increase of their daily age. If inappropriate fertilizer tanks are selected, it is conceivable that feed waste will occur. Therefore, selecting a suitable feed tank is really important for pig farms.
Stainless steel fertilizer tanks have been used together with feed lines in many large-scale pig farms. In fact, the advantage of this feed chute is not only to save material, but also to facilitate the cleaning and storage of materials without dead corners. It allows pigs to eat fresh feed, which is more conducive to the
1、 Cleaning: After the application of stainless steel double-sided feed trough in pig farming for a period of time, many dirty chemicals may be present. If the staff does not immediately solve the problem of cleanliness, they will still use the dirty stainless steel plate feed trough for the next time they carry out precision feed. Even if pigs are not prone to physical and mental health and safety hazards in the short term, there will definitely be problems in the long run.
2、 Disinfection and sterilization: The care of pigs generally involves not only simple feeding of refined feed, but also timely disinfection and sterilization of stainless steel double-sided feed tanks. Sometimes, due to inadequate work at this level, there are hidden risks to the physical and mental health and safety of pigs in their future care.
Advantages of stainless steel pig food trough:
1. Save feed
The structure of this product prevents pigs from digging out the feed inside the trough during the feeding process. The feed inlet automatically feeds the pigs as the feed inside the feeding chamber decreases, and the feed is completely replaced with new and old ones without residue.
2. Food hygiene
The structure of this product prevents pigs from inserting their feet into the trough during the feeding process, ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the feed. This reduces bacterial infection and transmission caused by the feed. Compared to using other feeding containers, sometimes inserting pig feet into the trough or scattering feed directly on the ground, the feeding method of mixing feed and feces greatly reduces the chances of pig infection.
3. Short breeding cycle
Due to the availability of food in the feeding trough at any time, pigs can grow quickly and can be released about 25 days earlier than the regular feeding method.
4. Save manpower
This trough can provide feed for pigs for two days at a time, reducing the number of feeding times and labor costs. Zhiteng Animal Husbandry Sow Feed Tank has the advantages of smooth and beautiful appearance, reliable quality, meticulous processing, durability, good stability, time-saving and labor-saving, fast release, no waste of feed, and reduced gastrointestinal diseases. On the basis of the original, an automatic feed feeder has been added, which automatically feeds pigs when they want to eat, saving feed compared to other feed tanks.
healthy growth of pigs.
