Blue Piglet Feeder Pan

Product Overview

The blue piglet feeder pan is a round, shallow plastic feeding dish shown in blue, designed to sit on the floor of the farrowing creep so piglets can eat creep feed from all sides at once. The product picture marks it at about 31 cm in diameter and 31 cm high including the central handle, and the pan weighs about 747.8 g. A central T-shaped handle rises from the middle, and six radiating spokes divide the dish into separate feeding sections around the rim.

The round shape lets several piglets gather around the pan from every direction, which spreads them out and reduces pushing in one corner. The central handle makes the pan easy to lift and carry for refilling and washing, and the six spokes stop feed from being rooted out across the whole floor. At 747.8 g it is a sturdy dish that will not slide when piglets nudge it, yet it is light enough to pick up one-handed. This kind of round feeder is a classic creep feeding tool used in farrowing crates worldwide, because it is cheap, tough and easy to clean.

Materials and Quality

The pan is moulded from a smooth blue plastic with a flat base and a low rounded rim. The central T-handle is moulded as part of the pan, so there are no loose parts to lose, and the six spokes are integral ribs that hold their shape under rooting. Each pan is checked for a flat base, a sound handle and smooth spoke edges before packing, so it lies level on the slatted or solid floor and does not have sharp points that could scratch piglets during feeding. The blue colour runs through the plastic, so it keeps its colour after repeated washing and pressure rinsing, and the smooth inner surface does not trap caked creep feed.

How to Use and Maintain

Set the pan flat in the creep corner away from the sow's reach, and pour a thin layer of creep feed across the sections divided by the spokes. Lift the pan by the central T-handle once or twice a day to tip out stale feed and rinse the dish with clean water. Check the spokes and handle for nibble marks each time, and make sure the base sits flat so feed does not pool on one side. Refill little and often to encourage piglets to eat creep feed early, which helps them get off to a good start after weaning and reduces the post-weaning growth dip.

Applications

This blue round feeder pan is used in farrowing crates and creep areas to introduce piglets to solid creep feed in their first days of life. The all-round access means a whole litter can gather around the dish at once, and the central handle makes refilling quick. It is also used in small nursery pens for starter rations when piglets are still too small for a divided wall trough.

Distributors sell it alongside hanging feed basins and long divided troughs so farms can mix floor dishes with wall-mounted feeders. The blue colour is a familiar sight on pig farms, and the flat base packs well for export. Mixed orders can combine this pan with heating plates and warming boxes to put together a complete farrowing kit for a new building, so a farmer orders everything in one container.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How big is this feeder pan?

It is about 31 cm in diameter and 31 cm high with the central handle, weighing about 747.8 g, which makes it a solid round dish for creep feeding.

Q2: What is the central handle for?

The T-shaped handle lets one stockman lift and carry the pan for refilling and washing without touching the feed, and the six spokes divide the feed around it so each piglet has its own small section.

Q3: How many piglets can use it at once?

The round 31 cm pan lets piglets feed from all sides, so a whole litter can gather around it, with the spokes keeping each piglet's feed separate.

Q4: How do I clean it?

Lift by the handle, tip out stale feed and rinse the smooth blue dish with water. Check the spokes for damage each refill. The round shape lets a whole litter gather around the pan from every side, and the central T-handle makes refilling and lifting a one-handed job. The six spokes keep each piglet in its own small section so the stronger pigs do not root feed out of their weaker pen mates sections.
