56 cm Cage Hanging Feed Trough

Product Overview

This 56 cm cage hanging feed trough is the standard long feeding bowl fitted to the front of battery layer cages, breeding cages and grower compartments. Its dimensions of 56 cm in length, 11 cm in width and 6 cm in height match the common spacing of cage rows, so one trough serves a whole cage section without obstructing the birds or the keeper. An internal molded divider splits the bowl into two sections, keeping feed level stable from end to end.

The unit weighs only 228 g, which makes installation, removal and replacement quick work even on a full cage house with hundreds of feeding points. Its green body blends neatly with typical farm hygiene routines, and the open smooth shape rinses clean in moments. Farms buy this model both as original equipment for new cage rows and as spare stock for replacing cracked or discolored bowls year after year.

Key Features and Benefits

• Standard 56 cm cage fit - the length matches common layer cage sections, giving a uniform feeding line across the whole house.
• Divided bowl sections - the internal divider prevents feed sliding and keeps each part of the trough accessible.
• Replacement-friendly - identical molded dimensions make swaps fast when an old trough cracks or becomes stained.
• Light 228 g handling - workers can carry and hang dozens per trip, cutting installation labor on large projects.
• 100 pieces per box - uniform carton packing simplifies warehouse counting and container loading planning.
• Rounded smooth rim - safe for birds and easy on hands, with no sharp edges left after molding.

Materials and Quality

The trough is produced in one solid molding with consistent wall thickness, which avoids the weak seams that appear on welded or glued imitation products. The plastic stays firm at room temperature and flexes slightly rather than snapping when knocked during cleaning. Edges are deburred and the hanging lugs are reinforced where the bowl meets the cage wire. Before shipment we inspect a sample of every batch for correct length, clean rim finish and solid lug joints, so farm teams receive a dependable spare part.

Because this model doubles as a spare part, production keeps the mold unchanged year to year, so a trough ordered three seasons ago still interchanges with the current batch. The divider wall is molded as part of the bowl rather than glued in, so it never detaches under feeding pressure. Each unit comes off the mold with a uniform wall section, which keeps the weight at a steady 228 g batch after batch.

How to Use and Maintain

Hook the lugs over the front cage wire until the trough sits level and does not rock. Fill feed to about half depth to limit spillage when birds peck through the wire. At cleaning time, lift the trough off, tip out leftovers, scrub with a soft brush and rinse; then hang it back while it is still damp-free. Keep a few spare troughs on site so a cracked unit can be replaced in minutes instead of leaving a cage row without feed. Store spares stacked in a dry, shaded storeroom.

Because this model is produced with a stable mold, units bought years apart still fit the same cage wire and swap in without adjustment.

Applications

Primary use is on battery layer farms running long cage rows, where uniform hanging troughs give every section the same feeding access. Breeder and grandparent stock farms use the divided bowl to support controlled feeding programs inside individual cages.

Commercial integrators also keep these troughs as maintenance spares, ordering a few cartons each year to swap out aged bowls during cage house overhauls. Distributors in rural towns stock them alongside cages, drinkers and egg nests as a repeat-supply item that customers reorder every season.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Is this the same size as other models in the range?

This specific trough is 56 cm long. We offer longer and shorter feeding troughs for different flock sizes, and we can send the full size list on request.

Q2: How do I keep spares from cracking in storage?

Stack them flat in a dry storeroom away from direct sun and heavy loads on top; under these conditions the plastic stays flexible and ready to use.

Q3: Can it be autoclaved or boiled for cleaning?

We recommend rinsing and brushing with clean water rather than boiling, since very high temperatures can warp the thin walls of the trough.

Q4: What is the minimum order for a trial?

Small trial orders are welcome for farms that want to test fit on their own cages. Tell us your carton or piece quantity and we will confirm availability and freight terms.
