8 kg Poultry Feeder

Product Overview

The 8 kg red poultry feeder steps up to the large end of the gravity bucket range, built for flocks that need longer between refills and a wider eating circle. The deep red barrel holds up to 8 kg of pellets or mash and feeds the ring pan by gravity, while the surrounding grid ribs keep birds outside the ration and limit feed tossed onto the litter. A 35 cm pan diameter gives more simultaneous eating positions than the 6 kg models.

The unit stands 30 cm tall with an 18.5 cm top opening and a 35 cm base, and weighs 369 g. The taller barrel suits fast-growing broilers and adult layers whose daily intake rises quickly as birds mature. Export packing is 150 pieces arranged as 150 pieces in 2 pieces per inner pack, a quantity convention that keeps the heavier units manageable for forklift and manual handling during container loading.

Key Features and Benefits

• 8 kg deep hopper - holds roughly a third more feed than the 6 kg model, stretching refill intervals for busy farm schedules.
• 35 cm wide pan - the larger feeding circle reduces crowding at mealtime and gives subordinate birds a spot at the rim.
• 30 cm raised barrel - the deeper body keeps the outlet level comfortable as birds grow into adult size.
• Grid rib pan rim - upright dividers stop birds stepping in while still allowing natural head movement for comfortable pecking.
• 369 g durable body - thicker walls reflect the bigger capacity and resist cracking under the weight of a full barrel.
• 150-piece carton convention - the revised pack count suits the larger feeder size, simplifying warehouse and logistics planning.

Materials and Quality

The 8 kg feeder is moulded from red plastic with reinforced walls sized to carry a heavier full load without bulging. The inner barrel tapers smoothly from the 18.5 cm top to the outlet, so pellets do not arch up and block the flow. The pan rim and grid ribs are formed together with the barrel base, giving a rigid 35 cm feeding ring. Each unit passes a visual and dimensional check before packing, covering the top opening, overall height and outlet freedom, and export-grade cartons protect the larger footprint during ocean freight.

How to Use and Maintain

Place the feeder in the central feeding zone of a larger house and fill through the 18.5 cm opening; because the hopper holds 8 kg, most commercial flocks need topping only once a day or every other day. Watch pan depth in the first week and avoid overfilling, since a deeper trough invites scratching. Cleaning follows the same routine as smaller buckets: empty leftovers, wipe the barrel, scrub the grill ribs where dust cakes, and rinse with clean water. Store dry, and keep units off damp floor surfaces to preserve the plastic finish.

Because the 8 kg barrel is deeper than the 6 kg version, staff on commercial houses often combine two or three units along a feeding line so each group of birds has its own station without travelling far. The larger 35 cm pan means fewer birds queue at mealtime, which reduces the stress that otherwise shows up as feather pulling and uneven growth across the flock. The deeper hopper also helps on busy days: when staff are occupied with vaccinations, weighing or house maintenance, the feeder does not run dry between visits. Farmers mixing age groups in one shed typically assign the 8 kg units to the adult birds and keep smaller buckets for younger stock, which matches the different intake levels without overfeeding the smaller birds. The familiar red bucket shape also means replacement orders are simple: staff know exactly what they are reordering from the photo, and distributors keep the same carton convention for quick stock turns.

Applications

This 8 kg red feeder fits broiler grow-out houses, medium layer farms and mixed poultry yards where 30 to 60 birds share several units. It handles high-intake rations such as broiler pellets and layer mash without running dry between visits.

Distributors stock the 8 kg size as the workhorse for serious small commercial farms, because it bridges small backyard feeders and the top 10 kg leg units. The familiar red bucket shape also makes reorders easy: farmers simply ask for the next size up when their flock expands.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How many birds does one 8 kg feeder serve?

It is commonly placed at a density that lets 30 to 60 birds share several units; the final count depends on breed, house size and feed type, and our sales team can suggest a layout for your barn.

Q2: Why is the packing 150 pieces instead of 200?

The 8 kg feeder is larger and heavier, so the pack count is adjusted to 150 pieces with 2 pieces per inner pack for safe handling and balanced carton weights.

Q3: Is it suitable for broilers specifically?

Yes, the deep hopper matches the high daily intake of finishing broilers, and the grid pan keeps litter out even on fast-growing flocks.

Q4: Can I mix it with the 6 kg model in one order?

Mixed orders are welcome; different feeder sizes can share a container, and we will advise on packing combinations that keep freight cost efficient.
