When feeding roughage to sheep there is a lot of waste, and a proven method of reducing feed waste is to use a feeder. NOTE! Any plastic film/netting around the hay bale must be removed before use. The feeder can be moved using the three-point linkage on a tractor with a drawbar. The base supports ensure the feeder is stable as well as being adjustable, enabling you to adjust feeding height. The roof is height adjustable to allow you to set the height that provides the best protection. The gates are fitted with a collection trough to minimise feed waste. The side gates are adjustable to suit different bale sizes and to reduce the distance the animals have to reach to eat the feed. The feeder is filled by opening the back end and lifting in the bale. They don't charge for delivery, which is great for us because we live a long way from anywhere."Ī high recommendation from Ida, M.II.O Entreprenad AB. Other advantages of a feeder like this are that it's more economical and hygienic – the sheep don't eat trampled hay, and any feed waste goes into a collection trough. They don't like hay that has been turned sour by the rain, so a roof over the bales was almost a must, and this feeder has one. "So that the sheep wouldn't feel stressed by the cows while they were feeding, we decided earlier on that they should have their own feeding place. Adjustable base supports provide good stability.Large bale feeder with adjustable feeding gates for sheep
