60 cm Chick Feeding Plate

Product Overview

The 60 cm chick feeding plate is the heavy-duty size in the round start-tray line, made for large brooding groups where smaller dishes would need too many units per room. At 60 cm in diameter the plate covers a broad floor area, giving a long uninterrupted feeding edge that lets dozens of starter chicks eat at once. The 3 cm rim keeps crumbles on the dish, and the dotted anti-slip floor spreads feed in a thin layer rather than letting chicks scratch it into the middle.

Weighing 525 g, this plate is built to stay flat and stable under heavy daily use, and it is supplied in white or red to match house color systems. With 50 pieces per box, cartons are scaled to the big diameter, so freight per plate stays economical while each box remains manageable for farm staff moving equipment around the brooder house. The size also reduces the number of stations crews must check each morning. Fewer dishes also means fewer wash-down points at flock turn, cutting cleaning labor. The big dish also spreads chicks out, which reduces crowding pressure at the feeding edge. Less crowding also means less feed flicked out by pushing chicks. Less flicked feed means less waste and cleaner litter around the dish.

Key Features and Benefits

• Large 60 cm diameter - feeds a big starter group from a single wide dish, reducing the number of plates needed per room.
• Heavy 525 g build - stiff floor resists bowing and stays put on litter even with heavy chick traffic.
• Dotted anti-slip surface - keeps crumbles evenly spread and limits feed waste from scratching.
• White or red options - fit color-coded brooding zones or visible red trays for quick floor checks.
• 3 cm shallow rim - low enough for small chicks to step onto, high enough to contain starter feed.
• 50 pieces per box - lower carton count suits the large size and keeps handling easy for staff.

Materials and Quality

The 60 cm dish is molded from thick rigid plastic designed to take years of washing and stacking. Because the floor is wide, quality control focuses on rim straightness and flatness, with samples inspected before each batch is released. The 525 g weight printed on the label reflects the finished inspected product, and each carton is sealed after counting to 50 pieces to keep warehouse receiving straightforward. The thick walls also protect the rim from cracking when plates nest tightly between flocks. The heavy base keeps the dish from sliding when chicks cluster and push against the edge.

How to Use and Maintain

Place the plates at even spacing across the brooding floor so the recommended chick group can reach feed within a short walk, and spread starter crumbles thinly over the dotted area. Clean after each flock with a moderate-pressure rinse and mild detergent; the smooth one-piece dish has no crevices that trap feed. Nest plates when dry to protect the rim, and retire any plate showing cracks around the rim edge before the next placement. Keep spare dishes in the brooder store so a damaged rim can be swapped without delaying feeding. Spare dishes cost little compared with the feeding downtime a cracked rim would cause. Spares are stored flat and dry so they are ready whenever needed. A spare on hand also avoids emergency purchases at the busy placement season.

Applications

This size suits commercial brooder houses, pullet rearing farms and large hatchery growing rooms that set thousands of chicks per week. It is also the common choice for contract growers who want fewer feeding stations to check and refill each day, cutting daily labor in large houses.

Breeder farms and research centers use it where large, evenly spread feeding surfaces make behavior observation easier. Distributors recommend it alongside the matching 60 cm feeding plate liner for customers who want fast wipe-down cleaning between flocks, and it pairs well with big brooder rings. Commercial growers often run one plate per ring and refill it once a day in the first week. This routine matches the light starter intake typical of the first few days. Refill timing can be adjusted once chicks begin eating more actively.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How large a group can one 60 cm plate serve?

It covers a wide feeding perimeter for a large starter group; exact numbers depend on your stocking plan and feeder space target.

Q2: What is the weight per plate?

Each plate weighs 525 g, and boxes contain 50 pieces, a count matched to the large dish size.

Q3: Which colors are in stock?

Both white and red are produced from the same mold, with the same dimensions and weight.

Q4: Can I use a liner on this plate?

Yes. A matching 60 cm feeding plate liner sits on the dish as a quick-change wipe-clean layer, then is lifted out for washing or replacement. Liners cut wash time on the heaviest dish, since staff mainly rinse the mat instead of scrubbing the whole tray.
