Orange Pig Feed Tank

Product Overview

The orange pig feed tank is a long divided plastic feeding trough shown in a bright orange-red colour, designed to hold pig and piglet feed along a pen wall in a farrowing or nursery room. The product photograph shows a rectangular trough body with internal divider walls splitting the length into several separate feeding compartments, so more than one piglet can eat at the same time without crowding. The raised back lip stops feed being pushed out onto the slatted floor, and the open front lets piglets reach in easily from the aisle side without having to climb over the rim.

This kind of feed tank is a simple, low-cost feeder used in farrowing creep corners and early nursery pens. The bright orange colour makes the trough easy to spot during a feeding round, and the smooth plastic surface wipes clean between meals. Because the body is one-piece moulded, there are no seams for wet feed to trap and turn sour between meals. It is a practical choice for farms that want a durable, easy-to-feed trough without buying an automatic system, and the divided layout keeps each piglet's ration separate so stronger pigs do not steal feed from weaker ones.

Key Features and Benefits

• Divided compartments - several internal bays let multiple piglets feed side by side.
• Bright orange colour - easy to identify in the pen and on the product shelf.
• Raised back lip - keeps feed inside the trough and reduces waste on the slats.
• One-piece plastic body - no joints, so feed residue cannot collect in seams.
• Open front design - piglets reach in easily without stepping into the trough.
• Light and portable - easy to lift for cleaning and repositioning between pens.

Materials and Quality

The feed tank is moulded from a smooth food-safe plastic in an orange-red colour that runs through the material rather than being painted on. The divider walls are integral with the base, so they do not work loose after repeated use. Each trough is checked for a flat base, smooth rim and clean divider edges before packing, so it sits level on the pen floor and does not have sharp corners that could injure piglets. The plastic is chosen to stand up to regular washing and to resist cracking at the temperatures found in a heated nursery room, and the smooth inner walls do not trap caked feed the way riveted or bolted troughs can.

How to Use and Maintain

Place the tank along the pen wall with the open front facing the feeding aisle, and spread the daily creep feed across the divided compartments. After feeding, tip out any leftovers and rinse the inside with clean water, taking care not to leave damp feed caked at the bottom of the bays. Lift the tank with both hands during room cleaning, and inspect the divider edges for nibble marks every few weeks, replacing any tank that develops a long crack along the base. Store spares stacked neatly off the floor to keep them dry until the next batch of piglets arrives, and do not overfill the bays because piglets will root feed out over the back lip.

Applications

This orange feed tank is used in farrowing crates, weaner pens and small nursery groups where piglets need a divided trough for creep and starter feed. The compartments reduce bullying at feeding time and let weaker piglets find their own bay. It is also a common choice for smallholder farms and breeding stock operations that want a straightforward manual feeder with no moving parts to maintain.

Distributors stock it alongside other piglet feeding equipment such as round feed bowls and hanging basins. The bright orange colour makes it easy to photograph for a catalogue and simple to identify in a warehouse. Mixed orders can combine this tank with other piglet feeders in one container, which suits dealers supplying several sizes of pen at once and keeps shipping cost per unit down for the buyer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is this feed tank made of?

It is made of smooth orange-red plastic in a one-piece moulded body with integral divider walls, chosen for easy cleaning and durability in a busy pig pen.

Q2: How many compartments does it have?

The photograph shows a long trough with several internal divider compartments that let multiple piglets feed side by side and reduce competition at the trough.

Q3: What age of pig is it for?

It is designed for piglet creep feeding and early weaner rations in farrowing and nursery pens, rather than for finishing-size pigs that need a much heavier feeder.

Q4: How do I clean it?

Tip out leftovers, rinse with water and wipe the divider edges. Lift it with both hands during room washing and check the base for wear each batch. The long divided body suits weaner groups where several pigs need to eat side by side, and the bright orange colour makes the trough easy to spot during the morning feed round. Because it is one-piece moulded, there are no seams where old feed can turn sour between batches.
