Why buy the 25kg Galvanised Treadle Feeder (Verminproof)?

The Treadle Feeder is a useful addition to any flock as it decreases food wastage while also protecting it from vermin.

• Unique Design – Due to the Treadle Feeder’s patented design, it keeps the poultry feed completely sealed until the weight of a hen is applied. Once the bird stands on the feeder, the feeder opens allowing the bird to feed. When the bird steps off the feeder, the lid closes again, protecting the food from rats and mice. This fantastic feature will save lots of money in stolen or wasted food!
• Capacity – The 25kg Galvanised Treadle Feeder has a capacity of 40 Litres which equals approximately 25KG of pelleted food (not suitable for meal or grain). The treadle shutter opens when the weight of the bird is 800g or more and 3-4 large hens can feed at one time. Lighter birds such as Bantams can also use the treadle feeder, simply connect the shutter door to the front holes and the door will need less weight to open.
• Verminproof – The all-weather galvanised treadle feeder can not be operated by vermin (they aren’t heavy enough to trigger the opening of the feed trough), and it also cannot be operated by smaller wild birds. Since vermin can’t access the feeder, huge savings will be made in terms of decreased food wastage.
• Reduced Risk of Contamination – The risk of contamination is extremely low for the feed within the treadle feeder, this is due to the access being safeguarded and protected by the shutter door.
• Galvanised Steel – The Treadle Feeder is made from heavy duty galvanised steel which protects the feed from UV damage and gives the feeder a very long lifespan.
• Other Sizes – As well as 25kg, we stock the smaller capacity Treadle Feeder, including: 7.5kg and 15kg.
