“Nothing Beats a Flexifeeder – Designed by a farmer for farmers”

Overview

The Flexifeeder is an innovative modern feed trough, suitable for many animal types. There are options to suit large or small mobs or if total flexibility is required – The Flexifeeder Skid Trough provides an option that can be moved daily or as required.

The original Flexifeeder is set up using posts and wires with a Poly liner forming the feed trough. Two options are available with different components being used to suit all budgets. The Heavy-Duty option provides a Flexifeeder that provides an alternative to concrete feed troughs but is superior in many areas. All these Flexifeeders are available for single or double-sided feeding.

The Flexifeeder Skid Trough is the largest “movable” feed trough on the market. They are available up to 10 metres long and in 5 different sizes, ranging from our “Drive Over” option for trail feeding, to our Jumbo Skid for bulky high roughage diets.

All Flexifeeders are designed to flex with the animals or machinery plus the “Flexifeeder liner” are gentle on all animal when feeding.

Flexifeeder has all the benefits

Simple & Durable

The Flexifeeder is an extremely simple design, easy to clean, with no moving parts. The Flexifeeder is built using high quality Stainless components, purposely designed “Flexifeeder liners” and “Hot Dipped Galvanised” support legs in the Skid Trough models. This allows the Flexifeeders to stand up to all weather conditions including freezing temperatures plus the day to day rigors delivered by stock.

Flexible

The Flexifeeder is flexible for animals, machinery and feeding sites. Great at a cow shed, run off or use the same trough for both. The flexible design of the trough means animals are less likely to be injured or caught in the trough, plus the trough can move away from Tractors or Feed wagons if needed with-out breaking the Flexifeeder.

Value for money

The benefits here are huge. Feed loss is minimised, light to transport, simple design. Extremely good value based on volume of feed stored and feeding space provided when compared with other feeders.
