100 cm Poultry Feed Trough

Product Overview

The 100 cm poultry feed trough is a long covered feeding tray made for chicken, duck and goose farms that need one feeder to serve a wide pen. The tray runs a full 100 cm along the feeding line, stands about 21 cm at the frame and 16 cm at the rim, with openings roughly 10.8 cm wide by 6 cm deep. A serrated ridge along the top edge discourages scratching, so pellets and mash stay in the tray instead of on the litter.

At 901 g per piece, this is the heaviest of the long grid troughs, built for the rougher handling that comes with mixed-species flocks. Packed 45 pieces per box, it is sized for farm supply importers and medium commercial operations. The same long rail works for layers on deep litter, growers in grow-out sheds and ducks kept on straw yards.

Key Features and Benefits

• Full 100 cm rail - the longest grid-top tray in this range feeds a wide pen from one unit.
• Multi-species design - sized for chickens, ducks and geese to feed through the same opening spacing.
• 10.8 x 6 cm openings - generous openings let adult birds reach feed while the grid keeps them out of the tray.
• 901 g heavy build - thick walls shrug off the bumps and crowding of mixed poultry yards.
• 45 pieces per box - practical export carton count for medium wholesale orders.
• Serrated anti-scatter edge - reduces feed flick-out, keeping litter drier and feed bills lower.

Materials and Quality

The trough is a one-piece rigid molding with reinforced joints where the long frame meets the tray bottom. At 901 g, the wall thickness is noticeably heavier than shorter models, which matters when ducks and geese lean and push against the rail. Opening rims are rounded to protect combs and bills, and the base sits flat on straw or concrete. We sample each production run for length, opening size and surface finish before the units go into export cartons.

The 901 g body is the heaviest in the grid series, because mixed chicken-duck-goose yards lean hard against the rail and push the tray around. The extra material runs along the frame-to-base joints rather than everywhere, which keeps the unit strong without making it clumsy to lift. Opening rims are smoothed to protect both chicken combs and duck bills during long messy meals.

How to Use and Maintain

Place the trough along a fence or yard edge where all species can reach it comfortably. Fill to a moderate depth; ducks and geese tend to be messier eaters, so keep the feed level below the opening bottom. Remove damp or caked feed before each refill, and scrub the tray with mild detergent between flock cycles. Because ducks splash water nearby, check the tray often and keep it out of direct puddle zones to avoid spoiled feed.

In duck yards, lift one end of the tray slightly after heavy rain so pooled water runs off rather than soaking into leftover mash.

Applications

Mixed poultry yards are the natural home for this trough: chickens, ducks and geese share the same 100 cm rail without needing separate feeders per species. Small commercial layer farms also use it on deep litter, where the covered grid keeps spilled pellets off the bedding and reduces fly pressure.

Regional distributors stock it as the large-family feeder in their catalog, pairing it with long drinkers suitable for waterfowl. Customers raising geese for the first time often choose this size because the openings accommodate larger bills than standard chicken trays.

If your yard mixes ducks, geese and chickens, tell us the headcount per species when ordering, and we can suggest how many 100 cm trays cover the whole yard.

We can confirm current stock and packing details for the 100 cm tray as soon as you send the required box quantity.

Waterfowl farms often run these 100 cm trays along the yard edge, keeping the feeder just outside the splash zone of drinkers. Distributors in regions where ducks and geese are common list it as the large-bird feeder and pair it with long drinkers designed for splashing waterfowl.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Is this trough really suitable for geese?

The 10.8 cm openings fit goose bills comfortably, and the heavy 901 g body resists pushing from larger birds. It is a common choice on mixed chicken-duck-goose farms.

Q2: Why 45 pieces per box instead of 50?

The 100 cm length takes more carton space, so each box holds 45 units. We provide carton dimensions with the quote so you can plan container loading.

Q3: How do I stop ducks making the feed wet?

Place the feeder away from the drinker zone and keep feed levels moderate. Removing damp leftovers before refilling prevents mold buildup in the tray.

Q4: Can I order 90 cm and 100 cm models together?

Yes, both share the same grid-top design and packing style. Mixed-length orders are welcome; tell us the quantity of each and we will quote combined packing and freight.
