Big Wheel® Hog Feeders

Ad-Lib Feeders

Big Wheel Ad Lib Sow Feeder

Purpose

The Big Wheel Ad-Lib Feeder was designed to be used in farrowing crates and testing pens. Other uses include small group pens and show pigs.

Sows stay in top condition

  • The proven and patented Osborne "mechanical-flow" system makes the Big Wheel Ad-Lib Feeder work better than any feeder yet designed for single pigs. It delivers fresh feed ad libitum without waste for maximum intake
  • Feed trough stays clean, with no corners or cracks to trap feed. Washing and disinfecting are easy and quick
  • The reverse trough lip scrapes feed from the sow's chin hairs to save feed, and prevents lower teeth from damaging the long-lasting trough
  • The reliable preset flow-rate allows for no adjustment to be needed for most feeders. An ALL NEW feed adjustment system helps adapt to major feed type changes
  • Adaptation to existing gates is easy. We fabricate a wide range of head-gate adapters to match common farrowing crate styles or design to your special requirements

    ALL NEW Manual Adjustment System

    James Waldner, Orland Colony, Montrose, South Dakota

    "The Osborne Big Wheel feeders require minimal adjustment and are easier to manage than our conventional stainless steel feeders. We love them.  We have had no problems getting the pigs started and have seen a reduction of starve-outs and reduced mortality rates.  We have observed that when given a choice, the pigs actually prefer the Big Wheel feeder over others."
