Linear feeders are channels made of stainless steel, concrete, or polymer, designed to feed a large number of animals simultaneously.
Linear stainless steel feeders are distinguished by their welded construction, which reduces feed waste by preventing spillage. Furthermore, these feeders are highly durable , as they lack joints that can break, and are manufactured with materials known for their long lifespan.
Linear feeders offer several significant benefits . First, they ensure that dispensed feed does not fall to the ground , thus reducing unnecessary waste. This design keeps feed accessible to the animals, facilitating consumption. Furthermore, they allow feed to be mixed with water , improving the farm's feed efficiency.
In environments where animals have access to both the feeder and waterer, these feeders facilitate the feeding process by preventing interruptions . They are common in facilities with paddocks and are also used in stall lines. Thanks to their design, cleaning these feeders is easy, as the feed does not stick to the sides.
These feeders are widely used in both renovations and new construction. Installing built-in feeders is particularly advantageous, as it doesn't take up any additional space for the animals. According to Regulation 1135/2002 : The total free floor area to which each sow, or each gilt after mating when group-reared, must be available is at least 2,25 square meters and 1,64 square meters, respectively. This type of feeder improves compliance with the regulation.
