The Universal Medium 3000 litre feeder empowers farmers to precisely manage their herd’s daily grain and pellet intake. Engineered for exceptional durability, this versatile model can be used as either a controlled-flow saliva lick feeder or an ad-lib dispenser.
Universal Feeders promote regulated consumption by requiring livestock to actively “lick” the supplements from restricted areas. As animals become “tongue tired,” they step away to drink and rest, returning periodically to continue the process. This metered approach helps ensure animals consume the optimal amount, whether that’s a few hundred grams or a full ad-lib ration.
Fully galvanised, the Universal Medium 3000 is engineered to withstand the rigours of farm life. Its durable construction outlasts conventional feeders, providing reliable, long-lasting performance season after season.
Explore the Universal Feeders’ innovative features by interacting with the image bwlow. Select the highlighted areas to discover how each detail benefits your livestock feeding operations.
Rain Guard
A small lip is incorporated into the design to divert rain away from the feed area as it runs down the side of the feeder, helping to keep the feed dry.
HANDLES
Easy access strong handles.
Reinforced Sides
The sides of the feeder are made of 2mm sheet steel and feature overlapping plates with RHS pieces for added strength and resistance to damage.
Stabilizing Base
Checker plate on the base to stop undermining of soil by animals’ hooves, making the feeder safer and more stable.
Reinforced Feeding Chambers
This ensures the feeder's structural integrity, even when used with exuberant steers, minimizing maintenance requirements and extending its lifespan under demanding conditions.
Forklift Sleeves
The Universal Feeder's integrated forklift sleeves allow for easy transport and placement using a forklift, whether the feeder is empty or fully loaded, saving time and effort during setup and relocation.
Superior Corrosion Resistance
The feeder's frame is hot-dipped galvanized for optimal rust prevention, while the sheets used feature a 275gms/Zn per m2 galvanization. Stainless steel (201) secures the adjusters, and the lid hinges are steel-framed and hot-dipped galvanized, ensuring long-lasting durability and resistance to corrosion in harsh environments.
3 Inspection Windows
Three inspection windows allow easy monitoring of feed levels, ensuring timely refills and reducing the need for manual checks.
Full Length Lid
A full-length lid on Universal Feeders ensures efficient, spill-free filling from various sources, including grain bins, loaders, augers, grain carts, bulker bags, and bulk feed trucks.
