Description

Design and functionality of the ZB Witness feeder

For (pregnant) sows, it is important that the feed and the feeding system are well matched. The VERBA ZB sow feeder offers a simple and effective solution for ad libitum feeding of 10 to 12 sows in group 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 investment cost, making it a cost-effective choice for sow farmers.

Calm feeding behaviour and precise adjustment

The sophisticated VERBA metering valve ensures that the sows feed calmly. This means they are better controlled than with a traditional dry feeder for sows. For larger groups of sows, multiple ZB sow feeders can be used. This sow feeder features highly precise adjustment, ensuring that the sows do not overeat and are encouraged to feed calmly. This adjustment is also ideal for daily rationing.

Hygiene and maintenance

The raised trough ensures that the sows can easily reach the feed and that no feed residues are left behind. This keeps the trough clean and hygienic. Combined with the stainless steel DRN 4 drinking trough This is the ideal solution for group housing of sows with ad libitum feeding. We recommend installing the sow drinking troughs (preferably a DRN 4) at least 1 metre away from the ZB sow feeder. Installing them further away is also no problem.

Optional water supply and various models

Optionally, we can also install a water pipe with drinking teat assembly, which transforms the ZB sow feeder into a slurry trough. The ZB feeder models are particularly suitable for pellet and crumb feed. For finer feed, such as meal, the ZBC feeder models are ideal. For rearing gilts, a lower feeder is available, which is incorporated into two lower-profile feeder models.

Durability and sturdiness

The additional stainless steel omega profiles on the side make the VERBA ZB sow feeder extremely strong. As standard, there is a folded stainless steel corner at the front, which allows the sow feeder to be securely mounted to the floor. The sow feeder must also be securely fixed to the rear wall, which contributes to its overall stability and durability.
