Design and functionality of the ZB Zeugen feeder
In the case of sows (pregnant sows), it is important that the feed and the feeding system are well co-ordinated. The VERBA ZB sow feeder offers a simple and effective solution for ad libitum feeding of between 10 and 12 sows in shared accommodation. This sow feeder provides sows with fresh feed that is easily accessible and dispensed in optimal quantities. Furthermore, this is achieved at a relatively low capital cost, making it a cost-effective option for sow farmers.
Calm behaviour at mealtimes and precise adjustment
The ingenious VERBA metering valve ensures that sows exhibit calm feeding behaviour. This allows for better control of their feed intake than with a traditional dry feed feeder for sows. For larger groups of sows, several ZB sow feeders can be used. This sow feeder features a highly precise adjustment, ensuring that sows do not overfeed and are able to eat at a leisurely pace. This adjustment is also well suited to the daily ration.
Hygiene and maintenance
The raised feeder ensures that the sows can easily access the feed and that no feed is left behind. This keeps the feeder clean and hygienic. Combined with stainless steel bebedero DRN 4 This is the ideal solution for group housing of sows on an ad libitum feeding regime. We recommend installing the sow drinking troughs (preferably a DRN 4) at a minimum distance of 1 metre from the ZB sow feeder. There is no problem with installing them at a greater distance either.
Optional water pipe and different models
If you wish, we can also install a water pipe with drinking spout assemble, thereby converting the ZB sow feeder into a soft feed feeder. The ZB feeder models are particularly suitable for pelleted feed and crumbled feed. For finer feed, such as meal, the ZBC feeder models are ideal. A lower feeder is available for piglets during the rearing phase, and this is included in two lower-profile feeder models.
Durability and strength
The additional stainless steel omega profiles on the sides give the VERBA ZB sow feeder great strength. As standard, it features a bent stainless steel angle at the front, which allows the feeder to be securely fixed to the floor. The sow feeder must also be securely fixed to the rear wall, which contributes to its overall stability and durability.
