Large Pointed Top Feed Trough

Product Overview

The large pointed top feed trough is a dome-crowned cage feeder built to keep birds out of the feed while they eat around the pan. Its red plastic frame rises 31 cm from a 36 cm round pan to a peaked top ring of 26 cm, and the tall peaked cover prevents roosting on the feeder and keeps rain or dust away from the feed surface. A side carrying loop moulded into the pan rim makes the unit easy to lift and move when cleaning the house.

At 510 g and packed 60 pieces per carton, this is the heaviest trough in the round feeder line, made for commercial layer farms and duck operations where feed waste directly affects margins. The 7.5 cm deep pan wall and full-circle vertical slots give birds access from every side, and the conical centre divider keeps feed flowing outward instead of settling in a pile.

Key Features and Benefits

• Pointed peaked cover - the dome shape stops birds perching on top, which keeps droppings off the feed and reduces contamination.
• 36 cm deep feeding pan - the 7.5 cm high wall holds feed securely and limits scratching waste in crowded pens.
• Full-round vertical slots - feeding openings run all around the unit so no bird waits its turn at a single front side.
• Moulded side carrying loop - the loop on the pan rim gives stockmen a firm grip for moving the trough between pens.
• Heavy 510 g build - thicker bars and pan wall handle years of daily use in busy commercial houses.
• 60 pieces per carton - export packing suits farm orders and distributor container loads.

Materials and Quality

The trough is moulded from strong red plastic with thicker bars under the dome shoulders, which is where stress concentrates when the unit is lifted or bumped. Edges along the slots and the carrying loop are rounded to protect hands and beaks. Before export, each piece is checked for even wall thickness, a level standing base and smooth slot rims, and cartons are sealed so the troughs arrive free of dust and damage. The dome shoulders carry extra material because this is the area pressed when units are nested or lifted, and the side loop is moulded as part of the pan rim rather than attached later, so there is no weak joint to crack in daily farm use and rough handling by farm staff.

How to Use and Maintain

Fill the centre of the trough with feed, which spreads outward to the slots, then place it on level ground and distribute units evenly across the house. Weekly rinsing removes feed film, and the open dome lets water drain away quickly. When not in use, stack troughs upside down so rain does not collect inside during outdoor storage.

• Allow about 60 to 80 adult layers per large trough, more for small active breeds.
• The peaked top is designed to discourage roosting; do not attach perches above the feeder.
• Use the side loop to carry one unit at a time, and never lift by the dome tips.

Applications

This large pointed top trough suits commercial layer houses, duck and goose farms, free-range operations and breeding farms where keeping feed clean is a priority. It is also purchased by agricultural equipment distributors who supply cooperatives, extension projects and rural supply shops in overseas markets.

Because the dome top stands out in the range, customers often choose it for outdoor pens where rain coverage matters, while using the flat top model inside covered houses. It combines well in a container with automatic drinkers, chick starter sets and transport crates for a complete poultry equipment order. Outdoor duck and goose farmers in wetter regions prefer this dome model because the peaked cover sheds rainwater away from the feed, which reduces mould growth during long wet seasons.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Why is the top peaked instead of flat?

The peaked dome makes it uncomfortable for birds to perch on the feeder, so feed stays cleaner and the house keeps fewer waste products near the eating area.

Q2: How does it compare in size to the flat top version?

This pointed top trough rises to 31 cm on a 36 cm pan, while the flat top model stands 24 cm on a 36.5 cm pan. Both serve the same adult bird group but with different roof styles.

Q3: Can it stand up to outdoor weather?

It is made of rigid red plastic and handles normal outdoor use. The peaked top sheds water, though storing spare units under cover extends their colour and life.

Q4: What is the standard carton quantity?

The trough packs 60 pieces per export carton. Mixed orders with the flat top trough and the small versions can be arranged by our sales team for container shipments, so you can stock the full range without waiting for separate production runs.
