Red Piggy Hanging Feed Basin

Product Overview

The red piggy hanging feed basin is a wall-mounted plastic feeding bowl shown in red, designed to clip or hang onto the pen wall or crate rail so piglets can eat from it without taking up floor space. The product picture marks it at about 33 cm high and 31 cm wide, with the whole basin weighing about 295 g. The bowl shape has a deep rounded bottom and a wide rim, and a fixing point at the back lets it hang flush against the wall and stop feed being spilled onto the floor.

Hanging the feed basin off the floor keeps it away from the slatted dung area and stops piglets walking through the feed and soiling it with their feet. At 295 g it is light enough to lift off for washing, yet the deep bowl holds enough creep or starter feed for a small group. The red colour is bright and easy to spot, and the smooth interior rinses clean quickly. This kind of hanging bowl is a standard fitment in farrowing crates where floor space is tight, because it leaves the creep corner free for a warming box or heating mat.

Key Features and Benefits

Materials and Quality

The basin is moulded from a smooth red plastic with a deep rounded bowl and a reinforced hanging lug at the back. The hanging lug is the stress point, so it is made thicker than the rest of the bowl to hold the weight of feed over time. Each basin is checked for a smooth inner surface and a sound fixing lug before packing, and the rim is rounded so it does not nick piglets. The red colour runs through the plastic, so it does not fade after many washes. The flat rear face sits flush on the wall, so the bowl does not rock when piglets push against the rim.

How to Use and Maintain

Hang the basin on the pen wall or crate rail at a height where piglets can reach the rim easily, and pour creep or starter feed into the bowl after each feeding round. Take the bowl down once or twice a day to tip out stale feed and rinse the inside with clean water. Check the hanging lug for cracks each time you lift the bowl, because a cracked lug can let the basin fall into the pen. Refit it firmly so it does not swing when piglets nudge it while eating, and keep the bowl level so feed does not spill out over one side.

Applications

This red hanging basin is used in farrowing crates, sow stalls and weaner pens where a floor trough would waste valuable lying space. It suits creep feeding for piglets and small starter rations for early weaners. The wall-mounted position keeps feed above the wet slats, which reduces spoilage and keeps the feed drier through the day, so less feed is wasted to mould.

Distributors offer it alongside round floor feeders and divided troughs so farms can choose the right feeder for each pen type. The red colour matches other piglet equipment in the range, and the light 295 g body makes it cheap to ship in bulk without adding much to the freight bill. Mixed container orders can combine this basin with hanging water bowls and heating plates to fill one farrowing kit, so a dealer stocks everything the farmer needs in one shipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How big is this hanging basin?

It is about 33 cm high and 31 cm wide, weighing around 295 g, which makes it a compact wall-mounted bowl for piglet feeding.

Q2: How is it fixed to the pen?

It hangs on the pen wall or crate rail through a reinforced rear lug, so no bolts or tools are needed to take it down for washing, which speeds up the daily cleaning round.

Q3: What feed is it for?

It is designed for piglet creep feed and early weaner starter rations, not for finishing pigs that need a much larger trough mounted at a lower height.

Q4: How do I clean it?

Take it off the wall, tip out stale feed and rinse the smooth bowl with water. Check the hanging lug for cracks each time you lift the bowl. Hanging the bowl off the slatted floor keeps the creep feed dry and stops piglets walking through it, which is the main advantage over a floor dish. The red plastic also wipes down quickly at the end of a feeding round, so the bowl is ready for the next refill without a long scrub.
