This is a ration style or 'on-demand' feeder that uses 'bump bars' to distribute food only when called for. It is not a gravity-fed design where excess feed is always available to the animal which leads to standing waste. The principle behind ration feeding is that the animal is required to work the agitator to dispense feed so it's not sitting in the trough to rot or waste. Keep your feed waste to a minimum and maximize your profits with an on-demand hog feeder.

Sioux Steel Big O Outdoor Hog Feeder

The Sioux Steel Big O Outdoor Hog Feeder uses this heavy-duty hopper and is the ultimate solution for efficient, reliable, and durable hog feeding. The feeder itself is meticulously designed to withstand the toughest outdoor conditions, ensuring your hogs receive the nutrition they need while minimizing waste and labor. The hopper section sold here is the working 'brains' of the feeder as everything above it is just for storage.

Built from high-quality galvanized steel, it is built to resist rust and corrosion. This ensures longevity and durability, no matter the weather conditions. The feeder features a sloped, rain-shedding poly roof to keep feed dry and prevent spoilage, guaranteeing your hogs always have access to fresh, dry feed.

The hopper section utilizes a ration style or 'on-demand' system that employs 'bump bars' to release feed only when needed. Unlike gravity-fed feeders where excess feed is constantly available, this design prevents feed from sitting in the trough and spoiling. The ration feeding principle ensures that the animal must activate the agitator to obtain feed, significantly reducing waste. Minimize feed waste and boost your profits with an on-demand hog feeder.

With its spacious feeding area, the round hopper allows a lot of hogs to feed at once and its large capacities reduce the need for frequent refilling. This means less time and labor is spent managing feed levels. The adjustable feed flow mechanism is a standout feature, allowing you to control the rate of feed dispensed. This minimizes waste while ensuring your hogs have access at all times.

Designed with hogs in mind, the low-profile design provides easy access to feed, encouraging natural feeding behaviors and reducing stress on your animals. The wide, stable base prevents tipping, ensuring the feeder stays upright and secure even with active hogs. The stability is necessary when feeding groups of large, rowdy hogs all at once!

Cleaning and maintaining the feeder is a breeze. The smooth, rounded edges and simple design make it easy to wipe down which helps maintain a hygienic feeding environment. This ease of maintenance is essential for keeping pests and waste to a minimum while promoting the health and well-being of your hogs.

The on-demand feed flow design cuts down and all but eliminates 'play waste' The reduced need for refilling and maintenance also means you can spend less time on feeding tasks and more time on other important aspects of your farm.
