HOW DO I ...Train stock to lick from the groove? Stock learn faster if they receive a memorable reward (a generous amount of feed) for coming to the feeder. Setting the adjusters as wide as possible before the feed starts falling into the trough will ensure this reward. Here, they will be able to scoop the feed into their mouth and are not being restricted by their saliva levels. YOU MUST USE A SAFE FEED – like pellets or lupins. Other ways to help train stock are to put some feed in the troughs and on the ground around the feeder. It is important to use a feed that has no risk of acidosis.

Advantage Feeders give farmers the control to limit the amount of supplement that stock consume. It does this through the revolutionary saliva restriction system. Whilst the Advantage Feeders Advanced Adjustment System can be set to feed unrestricted rations to stock, it can also limit the intake of sheep to 200 grams/day and cattle to 2kg/day.

Advantage Feeders can be used successfully to do the following tasks for both cattle and sheep: 1) Ration feeding,2) Creep feeding, and3) Ad lib feeding

HOW DO ADVANTAGE FEEDERS WORK?

The system requires stock to lick the feed out of the groove between the two adjusters. Changing the position of the adjusters changes the ration that stock can consume. Research has shown that when the lick system is in the most restricted setting the stock lick for 5-10 minutes between periods of grazing. The licking period is limited because the livestock use the saliva from their tongue to get the feed out of the groove and the saliva decreases with progressive licks.

Sheep can lick at 120 times per minute. To see a video, visit www.advantagefeeders.com.au

They are strong All Advantage Feeders can be used for feeding cattle and sheep. All the outer extremities are reinforced to withstand the roughest treatment from cattle. The extremities of the feeders consist of box sections. Advantage Feeders uses this concept that is strong and doesn’t rely on butt welds that are prone to rust and cracking.

Fully galvanisedAll parts are galvanised, not painted. This ensures the product will last a long time. All tube components are hot gal dipped. These parts often sit in the mud and muck and rust quickly – Advantage Feeders will last longer.

Volume stickersThis allows you to quickly determine the ration being consumed and make adjustments if required.

Quality componentsAll fasteners for the adjusters are stainless steel to ensure they are always functional. All rivets and tec screws also have very durable coatings.

Retractable roofThe feeder can easily be opened and closed from the one location.

Sight glasses These are a simple feature that can save you getting out of your vehicle to check the volume remaining in the feeder.

2000kg lift capacityThe NGF3800 and NGF1800 have a complete sub frame consisting of 150mm (6inch) z-beams, relocatable tine guides to suit any width implement and a brace in the middle of the skids. These parts enable the NGF3800 to be picked up with 2000kg of feed in it and the NGF1800 can be picked up full. This unique feature is important if you have to unexpectedly move the feeder when they aren’t empty.

Gauge stickerThe lower side panels have a table to show what the intake of sheep and cattle is at each adjuster setting. The table is a guide only and is a good starting point for setting the feeder.

Versatile Advantage Feeders can be used to feed both sheep and cattle. The feeders have adjustable skids that can be changed in height to suit either animal.

How you can increase your profit

This page outlines a range of benefits that many farmers with Advantage Feeders experience. Not all the benefits exist concurrently. There are a large number of assumptions made in the calculations and these will vary considerably from farm to farm.Please contact us for assistance in making specific calculations. We can provide spread sheets for you to calculate the benefits of using Advantage Feeders. You can also contact any of our Sales Managers and we can calculate this with you.

USE ADVANTAGE FEEDERS TO FEED LOWER RATIONSAdvantage Feeders Advanced Adjustment System can restrict the intake of sheep to 200grams/day and cattle to 2kg/day. This is about a third the amount of other “lick” feeders. While there are times of the year that you would want to feed more than 600grams/day and 6kg/day, for the majority of the year, this amounts to costly overconsumption. Next Generation Feeders also feature the Adjuster Guard – an attachment that makes it impossible for the stock to walk along the trough with their tongue in the licking area (between the adjusters). It reduces over consumption, helps ensure consistent feeding between animals and minimises stock being pushed while licking.

REDUCE MISMOTHERINGTrail feeding leads to mismothering because ewes will often run away from their lambs to ensure they receive a supplement. Using Advantage Feeders prevents this because ewes realise that they have a constant supplement source in the paddock and prioritise bonding with their lamb. Users of Advantage Feeders frequently comment that ewes that have just lambed don’t leave that position in the paddock for 2 days after lambing – ensuring a strong ewe-lamb bond. An added observation is that when ewes are being supplemented by feeders at lambing, the ewes are very calm, often not moving until you are within 10 meters of them – allowing them to be checked easily without disrupting them. For more information on this point, see the article on page 9.

EFFICIENT RUMENSupplementing stock every second day is inefficient because the rumen microbes need to constantly alternate from digesting a concentrated feed in a short period to a lower quality dry/paddock feed and so on. Using Advantage Feeders ensures that the rumen has a consistent supply of both the concentrate and dry/paddock feed. Many farmers using Advantage Feeders comment that since using them they use less feed, their stock are in better condition and they don’t need as much protein in the ration to achieve the same level of dry feed consumption and utilisation. Advantage Feeders is commissioning a trial to verify and quantify these observations.

PRIORITISE WITHOUT NEGLECTING STOCKIt is critical to the profitability of cereal farmers that seeding and harvest is completed within certain time periods. This can make feeding stock a secondary priority - often when stock are in most need of

receiving supplements, especially lambing ewes. Using Advantage Feeders will ensure that your stock aren’t neglected without you having to divert your time away from higher priority tasks.The cost benefit calculations are variable depending on seasonal conditions. Benefits are higher when the break to the season is late and during a wet harvest because time is more critical.

STOP TRAIL FEEDING – REDUCE LABOUR AND VEHICLE COSTSFeeding stock by trailing feed onto the ground is labor intensive, requires the running of a vehicle and is often only done 3-4 times per week. Although stock still require to be checked, the costs associated with this can be reduced by using Next Generation Feeders to supplement stock. Depending on the ration allocated, the feeders may only require filling once every 4 weeks. If 2400kg of feed is put in the NGF3800 and there are 40 cattle consuming 2kg/head/day, the feed will last 30 days. If 2400kg of feed is put in the NGF3800 and there are 200 sheep consuming 200g/head/day, the feed will last 60 days.

USE COST EFFECTIVE FEEDS AT LOW RATIONSCereal grains (including grain screenings) are often the cheapest source of energy but are difficult to feed because of the risk of acidosis. Next Generation Grain Feeders allow you to safely feed acidosis prone feeds like wheat and barley because intake can be restricted to low amounts. Please note, depending on the situation, cereal feeds can be deficient in protein, minerals and vitamins. Many farmers add pelleted supplements to cereal feeds to reach the required nutritional levels.The difference in cost between feeding cereal grains and pellets can often be $100/tonne (10c/kg).

SAVE TIME AND EFFORT PRE-CONDITIONING STOCK Preconditioning stock by manually putting feed into troughs in feed lots is labour intensive and can be physically hard. The superior control Advantage Feeders Advanced Adjustment System offers means that many farmers use this to accustom stock from a low concentrate ration to a high ration simply by repositioning the adjustment system. This can save a lot of time. If a feedlot has stock regularly entering and leaving, this can multiply the labour saving.

The MGF3800 is constructed by adding the tandem axle chassis system to the NGF3800 stationary feeder. The MGF1800 is constructed by adding the single axle chassis system to the NGF1800 stationary feeder.

Mobile Grain Feeders

SUSPENSIONAdvantage Feeders Mobile Grain Feeders have suspension to ensure the longevity of the products by providing smooth transportation. It allows farmers to pull the Mobile Grain Feeders at higher speeds because it can endure bumps. The MGF3800 has load sharing springs to carry heavier loads.

CENTRAL WHEEL POSITIONCentralised axles reduce the load on the tow ball of the pulling vehicle. Other mobile feeders on the market that have the axle at the rear of the feeder can put over 800kg on the tow ball, when many utes have maximum tow ball loading of 300kg. The tyres are only 480mm high, being 195/55/R13C, and have a load rating of 900kg each. Stock can reach over the wheels to consume. Lambs that are less than 4 months of age have to consume beside the wheels.

TELESCOPIC STANDS The Mobile Grain Feeders have a stand in each corner. These prevent the Mobile Grain Feeders moving when they are uncoupled.

ADJUSTABLE AXLE HEIGHTThe axles are manufactured with a step. This allows the Mobile Grain Feeders to be set at 3 different heights so they are suitable for all sizes of stock. The axle options allow the trough to be set at the heights of approximately 300, 400 and 500mm.

Before we had Advantage Feeders we trail fed. This wasted feed, we had lower lambing percentages and it was very time consuming.

We have a feedlot set up for our lambs. We have found that when lambs are born onto a feeder with their mothers, they are familiar with walking up to a feeder and eating grain, so when they are weaned, it is easy to introduce them into the feedlot.

Our weaning weights are a lot better because the lambs have been on the grain with their mothers from birth. We expected to have to feedlot our last season’s lambs for six to eight weeks, but when we got them in and ran them over the scales over 2/3 of them were ready to go to the abattoirs.

Advantage Feeders have also helped increase our lambing percentages and we have had better joining as the ewes are in a better condition to join.

There is a lot less time spent feeding sheep because you can fill the feeder up for two weeks and know you’re right. When we were trail feeding, we used to be trail feeding every second day and this took up a fair bit of time.

We mainly feed barley and oats mixes to ewes, but it depends on what we’ve got on hand. In the feedlot, it’s mainly barley and

chickpeas. We have our own seed grader and we feed a lot of the seconds and rougher grain that comes out of the grader in the feedlot.

It depends on the time of year and conditions, but a lot of the time we are feeding down to 100-150 grams/day per sheep. If it is a real dry and hard time, we will increase it a bit and aim at around the 200 grams per day.

It is interesting to see that a lot of the time, the sheep just come and go from the feeders. Some sheep will walk up and when they have

had enough they walk off and other sheep walk in. There are different sheep coming and going all the time.

We run around

300 dry ewes per feeder and reduce

this to 200-220 ewes and lambs to each NGF3800.

We have a mixer with an auger that we use to take the grain to the feeders.

When we go to move the feeders, we just pick them up with a front end loader and either carry them for short distances or put them on the back of a ute for longer distances. We have never had any issues with any of the feeders holding up to the treatment of stock or being moved around.

Advantage Feeders have improved our profitability.

Farmer Profile

Feeders increase weaning rate by 15%A West Australian farming family has recouped their investment in a grain feeding system in 12 months with an extra 300 lambs on the ground.

Tony Sudlow from Northampton was in a good position to judge the benefits in 2012 with two ewe flocks on properties Kapari and Ladyland 15 km apart – only one having access to Advantage Feeders.

Both ewe flocks were fed home grown lupins about 4 weeks before lambing with a mix of half lupins and half barley just prior to lambing to improve their c o l o s t r u m , essential to newborn lambs. Ewes were preg tested and all dries removed prior to lambing.

2012 was one of the latest breaks the Sudlows had experienced in 50 years of farming. The grain feeding using the Advantage Feeders resulted in an extra 15 percent lambing

at Ladyland compared to the traditional method of trail feeding on the ground at Kapari.

There was a lot less mismothering with the feeders, as ewes don’t chase the ute thinking they are going to be fed. There was also more twins surviving and thriving Tony said.

Tony and his wife Liz purchased their first Advantage Feeders in 2009 for mobs of 200 to 400 ewes each. Last year was the first year that all ewe mobs at Ladyland had feeders. Being such a late break was a good test for them and the Sudlows have now purchase more

for their home property Kapari.

Several of their

grain feeders have wheels attached and can be towed behind a ute while loaded with grain. This allows for

more flexibility moving feeders. A pivot trailer manufactured by Advantage Feeders is used to move the stationary units.

Advantage Feeders has been recognized for its innovative advanced slide adjustment system for controlled feeding with a Wagin Woolorama Best New Release Award.

Feeding rates can be controlled by adjusting the slides. With the animals licking the grain out with their tongues, there is no wastage. Ewes typically get a ration of 200 grams of grain a day and this can be stepped up more feeding into lambing.

Tony said the grain feeders had eliminated wastage and were big time and labour savers. The stock have constant access to fresh grain and only need to be filled up every couple of weeks.

Other uses have been found for the grain feeders which keep them in use for much of the year. They have been used to supplementary feed weaned lambs. Rams also get a booster ration of lupins about six weeks before mating in early December.

Cows have been fed with crushed lupins for extra protein during calving in April-May. “It helps keep their condition up and the calves do well once we get a season break,” Tony said.

“Having access to the feeders puts us in control, especially when weather conditions are against us.”

“They really come into their own when we get a late break in the season and there is a lot of stress on the stock.”

“The feeders have certainly been a good investment for us,” Tony said.

The Advantage Feeders Creep Panel system

Ewes can’t access feed under the creep panel because their skulls are significantly larger than their lamb until 20 weeks of age.

Creep Panel engagedCreep Panel open

WHAT IS CREEP FEEDING?Creep feeding is the process of exclusively feeding unweaned young stock. Lambs are very inquisitive, more so than older stock, and often start eating from a feeder from 1-2 weeks of age. It is best for ewes to be feeding from the feeder until the lambs are about 4 weeks old – this assists in training the lambs. Creep feeding allows farmers to better match their stocking rate to seasonal pasture growth.The feed for creep feeding needs to be high quality and high in starch – 18% crude protein and 12MJ of energy. A high starch based diet promotes rumen development. If ad-lib fed, lambs will have an average consumption of about 250grams/day.

HOW DOES THE CREEP PANEL WORK?The Advantage Feeders Creep Panel revolutionises lamb creep feeding by simplifying the system and reducing potential harm to stock. The Creep Panel (patent application number: 2010903466) acts as a guard over the trough denying ewes access to the feed as their head is too large to fit in between the panel and the trough.Many farmers report that when the Creep Panel is engaged the ewes stand back from the feeder because the ewes know that they cannot access any feed.The Creep Panel is able to be pivoted to allow the feeder to operate either as a standard feeder or a creep feeder. They are permanently attached to the feeder making the feeder simple to reposition.

REACH HIGHER JOINING WEIGHTSThe conception of ewe lambs is strongly correlated to their weight at joining. Creep feeding ensures more lambs reach a weight that gives them a higher chance to conceive.

RUN MORE EWESCreep feeding produces lambs to a marketable weight faster – often 1 month earlier. This allows these lambs to be taken off the farm earlier and makes more pasture available to run reproductive stock. Creep feeding develops lambs faster so they can be weaned at a younger age (often 1 month earlier). At weaning, ewes that would otherwise be producing milk can be run as dry sheep and require less supplement feeding.

■ 75-100 lambs■ 35 ewes with 60 lambs (creep feeding on one side)

Note: these figures are advisory only and can vary depending on conditions

REACH MARKET WEIGHTS EARLIERFeeding high starch rations decreases the time for the rumen to develop allowing lambs to reach market weight earlier. This allows stock to be sold in earlier markets when the prices can be higher. The cost benefit calculations are variable to seasonal and market conditions. Benefits are higher when the ewes lamb early enough to be sold before the spring influx of lambs.

LESS SUPPLEMENT FEED IS REQUIRED FOR EWESDepending on seasonal conditions and the time of year ewes lamb, there can frequently be insufficient quality pasture to fulfil the requirements of a ewe and her lamb. If supplement feeding is required, it is about 7 times more efficient to feed a lamb than to feed a ewe to produce milk for her lamb. If you are aiming to grow a lamb for a particular market, creep feeding can allow lambing to be delayed because the lambs grow faster. Delaying lambing reduces the need to supplement feed because pasture is more advanced.

INCREASE SUBSEQUENT CONCEPTION RATESCreep feeding allows lambs to be weaned earlier. This gives ewes more time to regain condition without having to support a lamb. Ewes in subsequent joining have better conception rates with fewer dry ewes and more multiple bearing ewes.The cost benefit calculations vary depending on seasonal conditions. Benefits are higher following poor seasons when ewe condition can be lower than usual.

INCREASE LAMB SURVIVALLambs that are creep fed are less reliant on their mother for nutrition. This allows the lamb survival to be less reliant on seasonal conditions and milk production. Benefits are higher in mobs that have a high number of twin and triplet lambs.

WHAT IS CREEP FEEDING?Creep feeding is the process of exclusively feedingthe young stock whilst they are still on their mothers. Creep feeding develops the rumen of young stock faster which enables them to consume more pasture and grow faster - the supplement not only produces weight gain by itself, but also increases the ability of the calf.

HOW DO THE CREEP GATES WORK?Advantage Feeders Creep Gates deny cows access to the feeding area because their body size is too large to fit through the gaps in the gates. Depending on the breed, the gaps will allow calves to enter until they are 12 months of age.

The Creep Gate simplifies creep feeding because the pivoting gates enable farmers to quickly and easily pivot them from the transport/inactive position to the engaged position. They are permanently attached to the feeder making the feeder simple to relocate.

It is common to attach only one Creep Gate to a feeder to ad lib feed calves on one side and use the other side to feed cows a restricted ration.The gates have a horizontal bar that can be positioned at 9 different heights to best suit the size of the calf. They have a strong triangular brace to prevent cows from changing the shape of the area the gate creates. The gates have two pins to prevent cows from lifting them up.

HOW MUCH DO CALVES CONSUME DURING CREEP FEEDING?Creep supplements are usually fed at 1–1.5% of calf body weight per day. Pellets and grain should be introduced gradually over a 2-week period, with about 0.25 kg per head being fed daily for the first few days. As more of the calves start eating and all the feed is cleared up, the quantity can be increased every few days by between 0.25 and 0.5 kg per head until the desired level is reached.

Advantage Feeders Advanced Adjustment System is a simple way of increasing the ration over this period.

By the time the calves are about to be weaned, they will consume about 3 kg of grain each day (NSW Department of Primary Industry, Agfact A2.5.4).

HOW DO I ...Keep cows out of the feeder? It is best to start creep feeding calves when they are young. This will allow the adjustable horizontal bar on the Advantage Feeders Creep Gate to be relatively low. In this position, cows will have no chance of entering the feeding area. As the calves get older, the horizontal bar can be relocated higher.

CREEP FEEDING HAS A HIGH FEED CONVERSIONCreep feeding is one of the most efficient forms of supplement feeding. Creep feeding trials with calves using whole oats have shown that 35–40 kg additional live weight gain can be achieved over un-supplemented calves during a 100-day feeding period (NSW Department of Primary Industry, Agfact A2.5.4). Approximately 200kg of oats was fed to achieve this weight gain offering – a conversion of 5-5.7 : 1.

REACH MARKET WEIGHTS EARLIERFeeding high starch rations decreases the time for the rumen to develop allowing lambs to reach market weight. This allows stock to be sold in earlier markets when the prices can be higher.

RUN MORE COWSCreep feeding produces animals at a marketable weight faster. This allows these cattle to be taken off the farm earlier and makes more pasture available to run reproductive stock. Creep feeding develops calves faster so they can be weaned at a younger age (often 2-3 month earlier). Due to early weaning, cows that would otherwise have a calf at foot can be run harder, requiring less pasture to maintain condition.

Corn feeding lifts lambing performance

The best lambing results in more than half a century have been credited to a grain feeding program adopted by a grazing family west of Longreach.

Pat Hegarty and his wife Sue have transformed the profitability of their 13,365 ha enterprise Colanya in the past three years.

The couple run about 9000 sheep and agist cattle on the property which was drawn as a ballot block by his father in 1954.

Their son James helps out on the property and operates a crutching and pregnancy scanning business from Longreach.

The Hegartys went looking for solutions to boost their lambing performance which averaged 82 percent in the decade to 2010, including a disastrous 48 percent in the difficult 2007 season.

They have adopted the Advantage Feeders system to feed corn from just before lambing until weaning, complemented by a custom-made mineral lick.

Their lambings have averaged 106 percent in 2011 and 109 percent in 2012; figures which Pat said were previously unheard of in that part of the world.

They are delighted with the results of their investment in 32 grain feeders and four silos which can store about 130 tonnes of grain.

Pat has introduced his feeding system at Longreach with a fencing program so that feeders located near water points serve small mobs of about 250 ewes.

Corn intake is controlled to match the nutrition needs of the mob with twinning ewes to lick about 400 grams of whole corn from the feeder each day. Single lamb ewes are restricted to a daily intake of about 250 to 300 grams.

“We had been pregnancy testing for ten years and we knew we were getting consistent conception rates around 95 percent but it

wasn’t translating into live lambs.”

Pat said wild dogs were a serious issue, but after his grain feeding experience, he now ranks nutritional influence around 70 percent and predation 30 percent.

Before settling on Advantage Feeders, they fed grain on the ground for a year with very mixed results. The flock would panic to get to the feed resulting in serious lamb mis-mothering and a lot of grain was trampled into the dirt.

We started with a batch of 16 grain feeders and we haven’t looked back. Our investment in equipment has been about $50,000 which will last for years and pay for itself many times over,” he said.

Feeding normally starts just before lambing in August and continues until weaning in December-January.

Pat said conditions during the 2012 lambing had been dry, probably as bad as 2007. About $13,700 was spent on corn or just over $20 for each ewe.

The latest breeding result was up 24 percent on the long term

average, producing an extra 656 lambs worth almost $50,000 – a good return on investment.

Ewes are also cutting an average of half a kilo more wool with better staple strength and lambs were weaned in better condition.

The grain feeding regime had had

other flock management benefits. Rearing more lambs from better quality ewes, has allowed them to run more wethers.

After more than 50 years of commercial wool production, the family have launched a Poll Merino stud and held their first property ram sale in 2012. “There seems to be a good demand for locally adapted rams and we’ve been encouraged by the interest in our breeding program,” Pat said.

“The latest breeding result was up 24 percent on the long term average, producing an extra 656 lambs worth almost $50,000”

“Ewes are also cutting an average of half a kilo more wool with better staple strength…”

What system should I use to

manage feed outflow?

Regulation Tables

The feeders come with stickers on

the side walls above the trough area.

This sticker has a regulation table that

provide an estimate of what cattle and

sheep will consume at each setting of

the adjustment system.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT TABLES

ARE ONLY A GUIDE. There are many

variables that can influence the feed

intake of stock but the tables can

provide a good starting point when

setting up the adjusters.

Advantage Feeders has had numerous

methods on how to position the

adjusters accurately. Please read the

information on the sticker on your

feeder for directions on how best to

do this.

Measuring feed outflow

The hopper has

volume stickers

in it. The level of

feed in the hopper

can be measured

against this sticker

to assess the

consumption rate.

Advantage Feeders

has created a

document, the

Feed Consumption Table which allows

farmers to easily enter the date and

feed level to calculate the average daily

consumption rate.

Filling the hopper for a set period

Another system that some farmers

use is to put a period, such as a week’s

supply, of feed into the hopper.

After a week, if the feeder is empty, then

the adjusters need to be closed slightly

to reduce the outflow of the ration. If

there is feed left, open the slides wider

to increase the outflow to the desired

rate. Note that if stock are very reliant

on the supplement and the feeder is

empty for a considerable time, they may

be aggressive and trample other stock.

What variables influence

feed intake?

The main variables to influence

intake are:

- Feed size: the larger the feed, the

more open the adjusters have to be

set to allow the feed to flow under

the Upper Adjuster and for stock to

access the feed between

the adjusters.

- Breed of stock: some breeds are more

intuitive than others and will learn

how to feed quicker than other stock.

- Age of stock: stock will increase

feed intake until they reach

mature weight.

Using the Adjuster Guard

The Adjuster Guard is a part that limits

stock pushing other stock along the

trough. It forces stock to lick from

the one location and reduces

bossy behaviour.

It can easily be placed in and out of

position to clean the licking groove.

It is important that the Adjuster Guard

on the NGF800 sits behind the brackets

at each end and the brace in the

middle of the trough. On the NGF1800

and NGF3800, it also sits behind the

brackets at each end but has three

braces in the trough to sit behind

What are the recommended

numbers per feeder?

For farmers that are unfamiliar with the

Next Generation Feeders, the following

recommendations are suggested.

The number of stock per feeder depends

on whether you are using the feeders to

supplement or substitute the animal’s

diet. Substitute feeding is when stock

are receiving their whole ration from

the feeder. Stock receiving a substituted

diet need to access the feeder more

often and longer than stock receiving

a supplement.

When SUBSTITUTE FEEDING, sheep

require about 35mm of trough space

each and cattle require about 150mm.

This equates to about 136 sheep and

32 cattle per NGF3800 and NGF1800

feeders and half these numbers for

the NGF800.

When SUPPLEMENT FEEDING, sheep

require about 24mm of trough space

each and cattle require about 100mm.

This equates to about 200 sheep and

48 cattle per NGF3800 and NGF1800

feeders and half these numbers for

the NGF800.

Ewes that have multiple lambs often

receive a higher supplement and need

to be at the feeder for longer than usual

sheep being supplemented. During

lambing, having fewer ewes and lambs

around the feeder also makes it more

likely that the ewe will leave the feeder

with all their lambs. In this situation,

they require about 40mm of trough

space each.

This equates to about 120 sheep per

NGF3800 and NGF1800 feeders.

Weaners are more susceptible to being

bullied and developing into shy feeders.

When using the feeders with stock that

are in their initial months of weaning,

the same number of stock per feeder as

substitute feeding should be used.

Farmers have chosen to put more

or less stock with feeders than the

recommended numbers. After using

the feeders for some time, farmers will

then be able to better assess whether

to run more or less stock per feeder. It is

important that the condition of stock is

regularly assessed as this will impact on

feeding requirements.

What’s the smallest gap

stock can eat out of

the feeder?

Many users of Next Generation Feeders

think that the minimum gap sheep and

cattle can lack from is 20mm and 30mm

respectively. The tongue of a sheep can

fit into a 10mm gap and a cattle tongue

can fit in a 15mm gap. Having these

narrow gaps will play an important role

in restricting the ration and preventing

overconsumption issues. A 15mm gap

for sheep instead of a 10mm gap can

result in double the intake.

What increment is used for

the volume scale?

The volume scale in the feeder

measures litres or cubic metres.

Different feeds have varying densities,

and cubic metres in a consistent way of

measuring volume.

Testimonial I have previously used other feeders that were heavy and didn’t allow small animals to get to the last 30% of the bale. Thus they suffered structural damage from animals big and small pushing them to get to the last bit of the hay.

I believe the feeders have reduced the wastage of hay by at least 50% compared to feeding out on the ground and 25% compared to the feeders I have previously used.

Sliding GatesThe feed is contained within the 2 sliding gates. As the stock consume the hay behind the gates, they push the gates in. This means that they will always rest against the hay and contain it behind the bars of the gates.

Lifting StrapThe feeder can be loaded by lifting it by the strap and placing it over a fresh bale. This is the most common practice as a front end loader is usually used to transport the hay to the feeder.

Removable Sliding Gates and Containment SheetsThese parts are removable so bales can be loaded into the feeder from the side. The sliding gates have a removable tube in each of them. The containment sheet slides in a housing at the bottom, pivots over a shaft and has a lynch pin to lock it in place.

Easy to useThe Hay Feeder Roof is easy to operate by simply rotating to the open position or removing for loading. Once the feeder is loaded the Hay Feeder Roof can be attached or rotated closed and the 2 sections fastened together with chain to prevent high winds from opening.

SafeThe sides of the roof sections have safety folds on the sheet metal. These folds ensure there is no sharp edge present that could potentially harm stock.

Ideal for small herdsThe Advantage Feeders Hay Feeder Roof can protect hay from most of the rain that can fall on the bales. Depending on the time of year, hay can be damaged by rain on a daily basis. If the stock are in small herds and are going to take more than a couple days to finish a whole bale, this is a great investment.
