Feed rack for cattle

What is a feed rack?

A feed rack is used to feed horses, cows, and sheep. It is designed to keep feed organized and reduce waste. Our feed racks come in different models and sizes, making them easy to adapt to different types of animals. Using a feed rack ensures that the feed is kept clean and accessible to the cattle, reducing unnecessary waste and the risk of it being trampled into the ground where it goes to waste.

Feed racks for cattle

A feed rack allows you to feed several animals at the same time and minimizes waste. Our feed racks can be adapted depending on how many animals you have. We have feed racks in all different models and sizes, and we can guarantee that you will find one that suits your needs.

Advantages of a feed rack

Using a feed rack when feeding several animals at the same time has several advantages. Your animals are not at risk of eating too much or too quickly. You reduce unnecessary waste, which can be a financial gain in the long run. In addition, they create a more orderly and structured environment during feeding.

Feed rack with headrest – and other types of feed racks

There are different types of feed racks, each with its own unique advantages and areas of application. A feed rack with a chest support provides support for the animals when they eat, which is important for larger animals such as horses and cows. The chest support helps to distribute the weight and reduces the risk of injury when the animal is eating.

A feed rack with a roof is designed to protect feed from wind and weather. The roof helps keep the feed dry and fresh, which is particularly useful during rainy periods.

Feed racks with lockable gates are particularly useful when you need to lock individual animals in.

If you are looking for a feed dispenser, we have that too. It is ideal for free feeding and includes an animal separation gate. In addition, the feed is protected from rain by an opening roof.

We also offer round and rectangular feed racks.

Sustainable feed racks

All our feed fences are built from high-quality, sturdy steel to ensure they will last for many years to come. All our fences are hot-dip galvanized, which provides a high level of protection against rust and corrosion, and we only use steel that is suitable for galvanizing. If the galvanization is poor due to incorrect carbon content in the steel, there is a risk that the animals will become ill, as the galvanization will partially come off with the feed when horses and cattle lick the steel.

What should you consider when choosing a feed rack for cattle?

When choosing a cattle feed rack, you should consider two important factors:
Height & distance – distance and height should be adjusted to the size and behavior of your livestock to avoid accidents and injuries that may occur.
Robust – Choose a feed rack that is robust enough to withstand the pressure of the animals and that is made of a material that is safe for your animals.

What type of feed is suitable for a feed rack for cattle?

When it comes to choosing the right feed for your cattle feed rack, it is important to consider both nutritional content and shape. Round bales of hay or silage are popular choices because they are easy to handle and fit well in various types of feed racks, including those with shoulder supports and roofs. Hay and silage provide essential nutrients and fiber that are important for animal health and digestion. It is also important to ensure that the feed is of high quality and free from mold or other contaminants, as these can negatively affect animal health. By using the right feed in your feed rack, you can ensure that your cattle receive a balanced and healthy diet.

How often should you clean your feed rack?

It is important to clean your feed rack regularly to ensure the health of your animals. It is a good idea to scrub the surface regularly to prevent the growth of bacteria and mold. Keeping your feed rack clean will ensure a healthy environment and allow you to use your feed rack for many years to come.
