Wydale Feed Troughs: Built for the Modern Farm
Whether you are transitioning calves to solid creep feed or managing group milk feeding, Wydale Feed Troughs provide a hygienic, virtually indestructible solution. Engineered from high-impact, food-grade polyethylene, these troughs are designed to withstand the daily rigors of inquisitive livestock and harsh weather.
The Wydale "Compartment" Advantage
The standout feature of the Wydale design is the internal weir system. Unlike open troughs where aggressive eaters can bully others, the Wydale system ensures a fair share for every animal.
- Individual Care in a Group Setting: The unique cowling guides each calf to its own space, ensuring slow drinkers aren't pushed away by faster neighbors.
- Health Monitoring: Because the milk or feed is partitioned, it is immediately obvious if a specific calf is "off its feed," allowing for early medical intervention.
Versatility for Every Stage of Growth
Wydale troughs are not "one-size-fits-all." They are designed to adapt to your specific penning and weaning strategy:
Key Features & Benefits
- Unmatched Durability: Made from thick-walled, UV-stabilized plastic. These troughs won't rust like metal or rot like wood, and they are flexible enough to resist cracking if kicked or bumped.
- Superior Hygiene: The non-porous surface prevents bacteria from taking hold. A quick hose-down is usually all that’s needed to keep the troughs sanitary.
- Incentivizes Early Ruminating: By housing calves in groups with these troughs, they naturally mimic each other's behavior, leading to earlier intake of solid food and faster rumen development.
- Stackable Design: When not in use, the troughs nest together, saving valuable floor space in your shed or storage area.
