Trough for pigs with single pig feeders

摘要

The trough (1) is raised off the floor to form a free area with frontal access as food store below. The trough is surmounted by a closed wall and consists of an elongate divided (5) angular profile whose base (3) slopes to the rear where the trough rear wall (4) is flexible throughout, including in relation to the trough dividers (5). The feeding area dividers are interconnected by a stabilising tube (11) run along their tops which (11) also serves as a water line. The trough is made of stainless steel and the dividers (2) descend maximally to the bottom edge of the trough on the side facing the pigs, the front edge (6) in the trough being preferably radiused. Thus feed introduced form the front tends to accumulate in the rear of the sloping trough as desired.
