Portion Control Drop Feeder For Farrowing and Gestation

Chore-Time’s Gestation and Farrowing Feeder eliminates overfeeding of sows, feed waste and stale feed. Sows can be individually and accurately fed a pre-determined amount of feed multiple times per day while still automating the transport of feed to each pen.

Using the Chore-Time feeder to feed smaller portions of feed more frequently also helps to enhance milk production. The feeder can be used with either Chore-Time’s MULTIFLO®, FLAG™ or FLEX-AUGER® Feed Delivery

Features and Advantages

  • Easy-to-read feed level adjustment allows feeding individual amounts from 3/4 to 10 pounds (0.3 to 4.5 kg).

  • Enable multiple feedings per sow per day by automating drop feeders with one of Chore-Time’s proven winching systems.

  • Translucent feeder provides quick visual check of its contents.

  • Eliminates the feed waste and labor of hand- or self-feeding systems and feed carts.

  • Patented, self-closing teardrop-shaped ball valve aids smooth feed flow and gives positive shut-off to help to prevent feed leakage.

  • System can be set up to activate all feeders at the same time by using optional manual lever or automatic time clock and winching system.

  • Feeders are durable, corrosion-free, one-piece units molded from plastic with ultraviolet inhibitors for longer life.

  • System is totally enclosed to help keep feed fresh and protect it from contamination.

  • Chore-Time’s durable feed distribution systems (FLEX-AUGER®, FLAG™, or MULTIFLO®) provide the latest innovative adaptations of the company’s popular corelessauger conveying systems to serve buildings of nearly any length and arrangement of animals.

  • Works with any of Chore-Time’s Stainless Steel Farrowing Crate Feeders.
