34.5 x 53 cm Chick Feed Tray

Product Overview

The 34.5 x 53 cm chick feed tray is a rectangular start feeder designed for brooding houses that line trays up in rows along drinker lines. Instead of a single round dish, this long rectangle gives chicks a continuous feeding edge along two long sides, so workers can place trays straight against wall lines or cage fronts without wasting aisle space. The 4 cm walls are higher than the shallow round plates, holding more crumble volume while still letting small chicks step over the edge.

The bottom is molded into a grid of square anti-slip pads that break up feed movement as chicks walk across, keeping crumbles spread evenly over the whole floor. Each tray weighs 364 g and boxes are packed 50 pieces per box, a count chosen so full boxes remain easy to carry on a standard pallet. The pictured red model is the standard supply color; the same tooling also produces a white version at the same 364 g weight. Trays can be set side by side in long rows, turning a whole wall of the brooder into one continuous feeding edge.

Key Features and Benefits

• Rectangular 34.5 x 53 cm shape - lines up neatly against cage fronts and wall rows for dense brooding layouts and narrow aisles.
• 4 cm raised walls - deeper dish holds more starter feed and cuts feed flicking out of the tray during active feeding.
• Grid of square anti-slip pads - textured floor stops crumbles from sliding into piles as chicks move around the tray.
• Corner locating blocks - small raised lugs at tray corners help position trays against frames and line them up in rows.
• 364 g solid build - heavier rectangular dish keeps its shape under daily walking, carrying and washing.
• 50 pieces per box - pallet-friendly packing for hatcheries ordering by the box for weekly placements.

Materials and Quality

This tray is molded from rigid plastic with thickened walls that resist bending when staff carry a loaded tray one-handed. The square pad grid, rims and corner lugs are pressed in one molding pass, so the floor stays flat even after seasons of stacking. Quality checks cover overall dimensions, wall height and tray weight per sample, and the 364 g weight marked on the label is verified against the inspected production sample. The thick walls also keep the 4 cm height consistent, so rows of trays look uniform and feed depth stays predictable. The thick wall sections also make the tray rigid enough to carry one-handed even when spread with crumbles.

How to Use and Maintain

Set the tray on the brooding floor with the long edge facing the aisle, then pour starter crumbles onto the grid floor and spread them thin across the square pads. Because the 4 cm wall is deeper than a round plate, check that the feed layer stays low enough for chicks to reach over the edge. After the flock, empty remaining crumbles, wash the tray with a pressure rinse at moderate pressure, and stand trays on edge to dry before stacking. Inspect the corner lugs for damage, since they help keep trays aligned in rows. For denser feeding, trays may be spaced one step apart so every chick stays close to feed.

Applications

This rectangular tray suits floor brooding houses, battery brooder compartments and pullet rearing rooms where feeding equipment must align in straight rows. Hatcheries use it when transferring day-old chicks to external contract farms, since the box of 50 trays ships compactly. Row-fed houses also prefer it because staff can walk one aisle and feed both sides without reaching around round dishes.

It also fits breeder farm starter rooms and research stations that need a fixed feeding footprint along walls. Distributors often pair this tray with the round plates as a mixed catalog, giving buyers both row-fed and open-floor options for different house designs, and they recommend it when customers plan dense starter rows. The rectangular footprint also nests well on pallets, stacking flat without rolling. The long sides make it easy to reach every chick when scattering starter crumbles by hand. Even coverage helps weaker chicks find feed without competing at one end.

The tray measures 53 cm long by 34.5 cm wide, with 4 cm high walls, and weighs 364 g, heavier than the shallow round plates.

Q3: How many trays come in a box?

Each export box contains 50 pieces, a count that keeps cartons within easy carrying weight for farm staff moving rows of trays.

Q4: Is a white version available?

Yes. The same tray is produced in white at the same 364 g weight; mention your color preference when ordering. Red is the pictured standard; white is produced from the same mold at the same weight.
