20 kg Poultry Feeder

Product Overview

The 20 kg Poultry Feeder is a large gravity feeder built around a translucent barrel, a red conical rain hood and a circular red feeding pan. Printed markings show a 53 cm overall height, a 51 cm hood diameter, a 41 cm pan diameter and an 8 cm pan height, with a unit weight of 1350 grams. Feed flows down from the barrel into the pan by gravity, so farmers fill it in the morning and birds help themselves throughout the day.

The pointed red hood keeps rain, droppings and litter out of the barrel opening, and the pan rim lets birds peck feed without flinging it everywhere. At 20 kg capacity, this feeder suits commercial broiler and layer houses where filling frequency must be kept low. The whole unit separates into hood, barrel and pan for quick cleaning at the end of a flock cycle. The visible barrel level means the feeding schedule can be planned around production records rather than guesswork, which helps small operations keep feed conversions steady.

Key Features and Benefits

• 20 kg feed capacity - Large barrel extends feeding intervals, cutting daily labor in commercial houses.

• Conical red hood - The pointed hood sheds rain and blocks droppings from falling into stored feed.

• Anti-waste feeding pan - The 41 cm round pan with 8 cm wall lets birds feed while limiting scratch-out.

• Translucent barrel - Remaining feed level is visible during walk-through inspections.

• All-plastic assembly - Hood, barrel and pan separate by hand, with no tools needed for cleaning.

• Stable floor-standing form - The wide pan base anchors the tall barrel against bumping during feeding rushes.

Materials and Quality

The hood and pan are molded in bright red plastic, while the barrel uses a translucent white material that shows feed level. The hood tip is reinforced so it keeps its pointed shape, and the pan rim is stiffened to hold the circular form under heavy pecking. Where the barrel neck meets the pan, the fit is snug so feed flows evenly without jamming. Units are checked for hood fit, pan roundness and surface finish before packing. The hood tip is molded with a small reinforcing point that keeps the conical shape after years of outdoor exposure and bumping. The pan rim is rounded so beaks do not get scraped while birds peck at the feed channel all day long.

How to Use and Maintain

Fill the barrel with dry mash or pellets, seat the pan onto the neck and place the unit on level floor space at normal feeder spacing. Check the remaining feed level daily and refill before the barrel runs empty. At the end of a flock, separate hood, barrel and pan, brush out old feed dust and wipe the pan; keep the feeder dry between flocks. Use only dry feed, since damp feed clogs the barrel neck and spoils quickly. Keep the feed barrel dry by refilling only what birds consume quickly, and never mix old leftover feed into a fresh fill. At flock end, brush the neck outlet with a dry brush to remove feed dust before storing the feeder under cover.

Applications

This feeder is used in floor-raised broiler houses, layer sheds and breeder farms that rely on gravity feeding instead of automatic lines. It also suits remote grow-out sites and seasonal houses where equipment must be simple, movable and cheap to clean.

Distributors position it between the 6 kg American feeder and the 30 kg heavy model, offering a mid-large gravity feeder with the same red-and-red-and-white design family that retailers recognize. Buyers with mixed species pens often run these feeders for chickens and ducks alike, adjusting only the refill schedule to each group's intake.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Can I hang this feeder instead of standing it on the floor?

The unit is designed as a floor-standing feeder with its wide pan base; follow the standard floor spacing rules for your flock.

Q2: What feed types work with it?

Dry mash and pellets flow through the neck; avoid damp or sticky feed that can clog the outlet.

Q3: How often should I clean the barrel?

Brush out feed dust at the end of each flock cycle, and wipe the pan regularly during the run to prevent mold.

Q4: How does it compare with the 30 kg model?

Same hood-and-pan design, smaller barrel; choose 20 kg where floor space or flock size is moderate, and 30 kg for the largest houses.
