Concrete feeding troughs are a precast concrete product that comes in two basic styles: concrete U-bunk and concrete J-bunk. Both give you the advantage of keeping feed up off the ground so that you can experience less waste and lower your operation costs. While it is not to say that your livestock won’t still pull some of the feed into the lot or field and trample it, there will be less loss than if you were to place it directly on the ground to begin with.
U-bunk concrete feeding troughs can be placed in the middle of the lot or field to allow your livestock to feed from either side or even the ends. The advantage of going with concrete feeding troughs instead of other materials is that they’re less likely to be damaged or moved around. This is an important consideration for feeders that aren’t mounted to anything.
J-bunk concrete feeding troughs are designed to be placed along fence lines. The advantage of this type of precast concrete feeding system is that you can fill them over the fence rather than needing to go inside of the lot or field. Their open-end design lets you put them side by side to create as long of a row as you need to accommodate the number of livestock that you have.
Are You Considering Concrete Feed Troughs for Your Property?
Concrete feed troughs are durable and efficient options for anyone who wants to optimize their feeding operations. Unlike plastic or wooden options, concrete troughs are robust and resistant to damage, keeping them intact even under heavy use. Their weight minimizes the risk of being moved or tipped over, reducing waste and saving money in the long run. We offer our concrete troughs in versatile designs, such as U-bunks and J-bunks, to suit different feeding setups. Whether placed centrally in a lot for access on both sides or along fence lines for easier feeding, they simplify livestock management while maintaining cleanliness.
