SowMAX Ad-lib Feeder
The SowMAX ad-lib feeder is designed to provide 24/7 access to fresh feed for your breeding herd. Keep the dispenser full and sows will have fresh feed available on weekends, holidays and at night during hot weather. SowMAX eliminates the guess work involved with traditional hand feeding and minimizes waste; improving the bottom line of your operation and increasing quality feed consumption, milk production and average litter weights at weaning.
.The SowMAX reduces feed waste because sows activate the trigger mechanism when they are hungry, dropping fresh feed into the bowl exactly when they’re ready to eat. This decreases wasted feed because the feed that is dispensed gets eaten, not stale and dumped out the next day.
.The unique design of the SowMAX feeder protects feed at the distribution point, preventing spraying water from wetting the feed and causing clogs. An adjustable lever allows fine tuning of the dispense amounts to customize feeder settings according to individual sow behavior.
.An optional extension hopper increases total capacity to 20.5 pounds, making the SowMAX suitable for filling by hand, or with a drop tube from overhead feed line systems.
