These feeders are weather proof and are suitable for outdoor use

The feeder is pre-assembled, except for the treadle and the feet, which are mounted easily

Unit is packaged in compact and sturdy carton boxes with assembly instructions

Fill the 12kg hopper with your chosen feed and position the feeder in a level, accessible area of your paddock away from low-hanging branches or obstacles. Adjust the treadle sensitivity using the flow rate mechanism to suit your feeding program—lighter settings for supplements, firmer settings for self-feeding. Position the feeder away from corners or confined spaces to allow subordinate animals equal access and reduce feed competition. Check feed levels daily and refill as needed, ensuring the treadle mechanism operates smoothly. Tips: Place multiple feeders if you have a large herd to minimise dominant animals controlling access and ensure all livestock can feed comfortably. Position the feeder under shelter such as a shed overhang or tree canopy to protect feed from rain and direct sun, which prevents mould, spoilage and nutrient loss. Keep the treadle and discharge mechanism clean and free from debris to maintain consistent feed flow.

Common Questions

How does the treadle feeder work?

Birds step on the mechanical treadle to open the tilt door, which gives them access to the feed inside. This design means only your birds can access the food, helping to reduce waste and keep out unwanted visitors like wild birds, mice and rats.

Do I need to train my birds to use it?

Yes, most birds need a short training period. When you first set up the feeder, you can weight the treadle for a few days to allow free access to the feed. Once your birds are regularly using it, you can remove the weight and they'll continue feeding normally from the treadle.

Can I use this feeder outdoors?

Yes, the feeder is weather proof and designed for outdoor use. It comes with feet for ground mounting and a rubber bumper that prevents the tilt door from hitting the back wall, which also helps reduce noise.

What assembly is required?

The feeder comes mostly pre-assembled. You'll need to mount the treadle and feet, which is straightforward. Assembly instructions are included in the compact, sturdy carton box.

What capacity does this feeder hold?

This is a 12 kg feeder, suitable for small to medium poultry flocks. The exact number of birds it will serve depends on your flock size and feeding patterns—contact TGRM on (07) 5482 1692 if you'd like advice on suitability for your setup.
