TIPS ON BROWER CREEP FEEDER USE


 

 
Keep feed fresh. Stale feed will not be consumed. Feed wastage will be kept to a minimum by initially filling our feeder with as little as 1/4 cup per feeding. Gradually increase the amount fed as required. This feeder can also be used to reduce stress during the transition from farrowing to nursery. A smooth transition is aided by moving our feeder along with the pigs from the farrowing facility to the nursery and placing our feeder next to your nursery feeder. Our feeder should be removed from the nursery pen 3 to 5 days after weaning.

Discussion: "Feeder easy to place in crate. Pigs went right to this feeder. Two steel pins screw into the bottom to keep the feeder where you put it. Very little feed waste. High sides let pigs in, but feed can't be rooted out. Pigs need to root around in the feed before they learn they can eat it. My favorite feeder and I would purchase more of these."

 

The only assembly required is to insert 2 stainless steel pegs into threaded inserts molded into the body. Shippable via UPS.
