- Feed savings of approximately 15%: Economically efficient by reducing waste and optimizing feed utilization.
- 800 mm wide feeding space: Allows feeding from both sides and promotes even body condition among sows.
- Reduced soil ingestion: Minimizes the risk of soil ingestion and improves animal health.
- Suitable for all feed types and sizes: Flexible application to meet different feeding needs.
- Easier vaccination, scanning, and body condition assessment: Easy access and workflow for the farmer.
- Faster feeding saves time and fuel: Reduces operational costs and increases efficiency.
- Reduced occurrence of birds and rodents year-round: Improves hygiene and reduces the risk of infection.
- Drain holes: Ensure effective drainage and maintain a clean feeding environment.
- Stackable for easy storage and transport: Optimizes storage space and mobility.
Long sow trough
The long trough is designed with its solid form to feed pregnant sows and gilts in outdoor systems. With smooth surfaces, it minimizes the risk of injury to the animals and provides ample space during feeding, reducing fighting.
Durable and practical construction
The long trough is created to deliver a simple, robust, and long-lasting solution for feeding pregnant sows and gilts in outdoor systems. With smooth edges all around, it minimizes feed waste, and pigs can easily lick the surfaces clean. The solid and durable construction ensures many years without the need for maintenance. Drain holes at both ends of the trough ensure that rainwater can escape, and the numerous feet create a solid grip in the ground and grass, making it difficult for sows to push it around.
Environmental benefits:
- Sustainable feeding practice: Reduces feed waste by about 15%, reducing environmental impact.
- Efficient resource utilization: The corrosion-free construction and durable materials minimize the need for frequent replacement and new production.
- Reduced soil contamination: Minimizes soil ingestion by animals and helps preserve soil quality.
- Increased water efficiency: The integrated water tank and drain holes reduce waste and contribute to more efficient water usage.
- Sustainable farming: The Contented Sow Trough supports sustainable farming practices by optimizing animal welfare and minimizing environmental impact.
