Automatic Pig Feeder

An automatic pig feeder is a good option to improve feed intake for pigs when they can eat on demand. Small and frequent meals make pigs feel satisfied and comfortable. Pigs are voracious eaters, and a lot of feeding is required to allow them to reach their potential. Using the right pig feeders can help breeders out in their pig rearing journey, and they can prevent wastage of food and water, so it is a great investment. A hog self-feeder makes it simple to keep fresh feed available at all times for hungry hogs. Hog feeders can also save pig breeders' time and energy in the long run. There is a variety of hog feeders made out of different materials for you to choose from. Explore Alibaba.com for more information!

Types of pig feeders

There are two main types of pig feeders in swine barns, namely dry feeders and wet-dry feeders. The conventional dry feeders provide feed only, and water needs to be accessed separately, whereas wet-dry feeders can be described as feeders with a built-in water source, which combines feed and water delivery. Feed is provided via a shelf below the feed hopper, and water is provided in the feed pan area. These two pig feeders differ in feed efficiency and functions, but both of them help reduce the manure volume.

Materials of pig equipment

Pigs are tough on their feeders so when choosing a pig feeding equipment, always go for feeders made from tough and durable materials. Metal feeders are an ideal choice for swine because they are durable and do not appeal to pigs' omnivorous appetites. Sellers can also find feeders made out of heavy plastic and wood on Alibaba.com. Stainless steel automatic feeders, galvanized pig feeders and plastic double-side pig feeders are also available.

Suppliers on Alibaba.com offer a wide range of bulk pig feeders for pig farmers, including wet-dry and dry self feeders for piglets and finishing pigs. They will help you find the perfect feeder to suit your customers' needs.
