Green Cage Hanging Feed Trough

Product Overview

The green cage hanging feed trough is a long plastic feeding unit designed to hook onto the front wire of layer battery cages, breeding cages and small poultry pens. At 56 cm long, 11 cm wide and 6 cm high, it gives a row of birds a continuous feeding line without taking space away from the birds themselves. A molded divider inside splits the bowl into sections so feed stays evenly distributed and different rations can be kept apart when required.

The bright green finish makes the trough easy to spot during daily inspection, and the smooth plastic walls let workers scrape out leftovers in seconds. It is a practical choice for layer houses, grandparent and parent stock farms, and any cage system where feed must be delivered directly at the cage front instead of scattered on the floor.

Key Features and Benefits

• Cage-hanging installation - molded lugs along the top edge hook over the cage wire, so the trough hangs level and stays put during feeding.
• 56 cm continuous feeding line - the long bowl serves several birds along one cage row at the same time, reducing crowding at feeding time.
• Internal divider - the molded divider separates the bowl into sections, helping keep feed even and allowing ration separation when needed.
• Light 228 g body - at only 228 g per piece, the trough is easy to carry, install and replace without tiring workers out.
• Compact packing - 100 pieces per box keeps freight cost low for distributors ordering full containers.
• Green color coding - the green color stands out against galvanized cage wire, making daily checks and cleaning faster.

Materials and Quality

The trough is molded from durable plastic that stays rigid under daily filling yet remains light enough to handle easily. The edges are rounded and smooth, with no sharp flash left after molding, so birds cannot injure their combs or wattles while feeding. Reinforced hanging lugs spread the load of a filled trough across several contact points, which is exactly where cheap thin troughs usually crack after a few months. Every unit we ship is checked for molding defects, clean edges and correct color before it is packed into the carton.

The inner walls of the green trough are molded with a smooth finish that does not trap mash residue in microscopic grooves, which means a quick wipe is enough between daily fills. The hanging lugs are thicker than the bowl wall itself, because that is the stress point where the trough pivots against the cage wire; over time a thin lug cracks, ours flexes instead. This batch uses a uniform green tone so replacement parts match existing rows on a farm.

How to Use and Maintain

Hang the trough over the front wire of the cage so the lugs click firmly onto the mesh. Fill it from the top with mash, crumbs or pellets, leaving a finger of space below the rim so birds cannot hook feed out onto the floor. To clean, lift the trough off the cage, scrape out leftovers, rinse with water and leave it to air dry. Avoid sharp metal scrapers that scratch the plastic, because scratches hold mold and spoil feed faster. Store spare troughs stacked flat in a dry room away from direct sunlight to slow material aging.

Applications

This trough is built for layer battery cage systems, where each cage row needs its own feeding line at the wire front. It also suits breeding farms that raise grandparent or parent stock in individual cages, since the divider lets keepers feed controlled rations without mixing them together between birds.

Beyond poultry, the same hanging principle works for rabbit hutches, quail cages and other small livestock cages where a narrow, wall-mounted feeding bowl is required. Distributors serving rural supply stores often stock this green version alongside drinkers and egg collection trays as part of a complete cage accessory range for resale.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Which cage wire sizes does this trough hang on?

The molded lugs are designed for standard galvanized layer cage mesh. If your cage wire spacing is unusual, send us a photo of the cage front and we will confirm the fit before you place an order.

Q2: Can I hang it on both sides of the cage?

Yes, the lugs fit over the front wire from either side, so you can place the trough where your feeding aisle makes the most sense for daily work flow.

Q3: Is the green color UV-stable for outdoor use?

The trough is designed for indoor cage houses. For outdoor runs, store spare units out of direct sunlight and rotate stock regularly to keep the plastic and color in good condition.

Q4: How many boxes fit in a 20 ft container?

Packing is 100 pieces per box. We can calculate the exact carton count and mixed-container options for your order and send the loading plan together with the quotation.
