Galvanized Treadle Feeders | 28L Capacity

Description

Galvanized Treadle Feeders | 28L Capacity are designed to improve feed management and hygiene in poultry farms by minimizing feed wastage and preventing pests from accessing the feed.

Here’s a detailed explanation of their key features, benefits, and applications:

Key Features of Galvanized Treadle Feeders | 28L Capacity:

1. Treadle Mechanism:
   • The feeder operates with a treadle mechanism, which opens the feed compartment when a bird steps onto the pedal (treadle).
   • This system ensures that only poultry can access the feed, as the treadle requires a certain weight (usually that of a chicken) to activate.
2. 28-Litre Capacity:
   • The feeder has a 28-litre capacity, allowing it to hold a large volume of feed, reducing the need for frequent refilling.
   • This capacity is suitable for small to medium-sized flocks, providing enough feed for an extended period.
3. Galvanized Steel Construction:
   • Made from galvanized steel, the feeder is highly durable and resistant to rust and corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor use in various weather conditions.
   • The galvanized coating adds strength and longevity to the feeder, ensuring it withstands the rigors of daily farm life.
4. Pest and Rodent Prevention:
   • The treadle mechanism ensures that pests like rodents, wild birds, and insects cannot access the feed, as they do not weigh enough to activate the pedal.
   • This feature helps maintain feed hygiene and reduces contamination.
5. Feed Waste Reduction:
   • This reduces wastage and makes feeding more efficient, leading to cost savings over time.
6. Lid for Feed Protection:
   • The tightly sealed lid protects the feed from dust, rain, and other contaminants, ensuring the feed stays dry and clean.
   • The lid also prevents accidental spillage and makes it easy to refill the feeder when necessary.
7. Adjustable Treadle Sensitivity:
   • Some treadle feeders come with adjustable sensitivity settings, allowing the user to modify the weight required to open the feeder.
   • This ensures that the feeder can be adapted for use with different poultry species or sizes of birds.
