Pig hoppers are a device used for depositing and channeling granular or pulverized materials. One of their distinguishing features is that they are manufactured with the option of transporting or stationary. They resemble a large funnel.
Its conical shape with inclined walls facilitates the passage of food and the discharge cone, placed at the end of the cone and with a gate technique, discharges the food.
Types of pig hoppers
Fattening hoppers
We use this type of hopper for intercalation in pens to provide mixed feeding. They must eat dry food and add water in the designated space, at the discretion of each farm. With these hoppers specifically designed for this purpose, we achieve optimized feeding time and higher feed conversion.
They are very functional and durability depends directly on the material chosen.
Gestation hoppers
We have special hoppers for the farrowing phase. The pace and amount of feed the sow eats varies depending on the demands of the stages of her condition. These hoppers make it easier for us to adapt to these changes.
Variations in milk production have a lot to do with the mother’s diet and care throughout the entire pregnancy. For this reason, it’s extremely important to provide the best care.
These feeders dispense feed in a way that eliminates leftovers that could spoil and ferment. The sow can eat whenever she needs to, thus avoiding stress. The dry/wet system also helps ensure regular feed intake.
Weaning hoppers
It is designed for dry feeding animals during the weaning and finishing stages. Accompanied by a stainless steel pan, it keeps water and feed in separate areas.
They are designed to be very accessible and easy for animals to learn.
