CONCRETE TROUGH 8FT X 1FT X 17" - 2" IN 4" OUT 755KG CIVILMART

Position the concrete trough in a central, accessible location within your paddock to ensure all animals can access feed without excessive travel. For supplement feeding, adjust the 2" inlet valve to control flow rate based on your feeding program—open fully for self-feeding grains or partially restrict for controlled supplement distribution. Fill the trough via the 4" outlet (which serves as the inlet) and monitor levels regularly, refilling as needed based on herd consumption rates. Always ensure fresh water is available separately and check the trough daily for spillage or feed spoilage. Tips: Position the trough in a sheltered spot such as under trees or near a windbreak to protect supplementary feeds from rain and sun exposure, which can cause spoilage and nutrient loss. Rotate placement seasonally to prevent ground poaching and mud accumulation around the feeder, improving hygiene and animal access. Consider the dominance hierarchy of your herd and provide additional troughs if necessary to reduce competition and ensure weaker animals receive adequate nutrition.
