Feeder for chickens Big Dutchman FXB360 (11-31-3815)

How the Big Dutchman FXB360 chick feeder works

The Big Dutchman FXB360 feeder is designed for automated feeding systems for parent stock broilers (BB rearing). It is installed directly on the feed pipe with a diameter of 45 mm and distributes the feed evenly within the panel. The birds have free access to the feed from all sides, and the special shape of the panel and grid prevents feed wastage due to scattering. Thanks to its modular design, the system can be scaled to the needs of the farm.

Advantages of the Big Dutchman FXB360 chick feeder:

• The 360° panel provides equal access for all birds;
• High-strength polymer is resistant to moisture, UV rays and disinfectants;
• Minimised feed loss thanks to protective edge;
• Compatible with Ø45 mm feed pipes – a common standard on farms;
• Quick and easy replacement or servicing without dismantling the entire system.
