Feed containers for stables are suitable for feeding and storing concentrated feed. Instead of feed bags, it is better to store animal feed in a feed container to prevent vermin from eating through the bag. Feed containers are available in different versions, from feed trays and feed trolleys to feed silos.

Feed containers for the stable prevent open feed bags from standing on the floor or in the tack room and taking up a lot of space. The larger the feed containers are, the more feed they can hold. Many large feed containers have integrated wheels, making it easier to transport the feed and feed your animals as well as storing it. At Alfako, we sell a spacious feed container with a capacity of 100 litres.

What types of feed containers are available for the barn?

For example, there are small types of feed containers for the stable, such as feed bowls, feed buckets, feed boxes and feed boxes. In addition to small ones, there are also large types of feed containers for the stable, such as feed bins, feed trolleys and feed silos.

The 7 different types of feed containers for the barn are presented in detail below.

Feeding bowl

A food bowl is a very small food container that can hold around 2 to 10 litres of food. Feeding bowls are suitable for single portions of an animal and exclusively for feeding, not for storing feed. Feed bowls as feed containers do not have a lid and are usually made of easy-care plastic, stainless steel or rubber.

Feed bucket

A feed bucket is a small feed container with a capacity of 10 to 20 litres. Thanks to the practical handles, feed buckets are suitable for transporting larger quantities of feed and for feeding smaller herds of animals. The storage of feed in feed buckets should be avoided, as most feed buckets do not have a lid.

Feed box

A feed box has a capacity of around 20 to 100 litres. Most feed boxes have a lid, which is why a feed box is best suited for storing feed. Feed boxes are placed in feed cupboards or tack rooms, for example. A feed box as a feed container is mainly made of plastic, sheet steel or stainless steel.

Feed box

A feed box has a capacity of around 40 to 60 litres. Feed boxes are equipped with airtight lids, which ensures a longer shelf life for the feed. Most feed boxes have a small dispensing opening so that the entire box does not have to be opened when removing the feed. Feed boxes are mainly made of food-safe plastic.

Feed bin

A feed bin can hold between 8 and 120 litres of feed. Most feed bins have a twist lock so that the bin is pest-resistant. Feed bins have a round shape, allow easy access from above and are therefore very space-saving. In most cases, feed bins are made of sturdy plastic or robust stainless steel.

Chuck wagon

A feed trolley has a capacity of 200 to 700 litres of feed. Feed trolleys have wheels, making them suitable for both storing and transporting feed for direct feeding of the animal. Using a mobile feed trolley saves labour time when feeding the animals. Many feed trolleys have several compartments so that different types of feed can be stored and transported hygienically.

Feed silo

A feed silo is a stationary feed container that is available with a capacity of between 150 and 50,000 litres. Depending on their size, feed silos are made of stainless steel or concrete and enable the storage of large quantities of feed. A feed silo is designed for the long-term, large-scale storage of dry feed such as grain or pellets. Feed silos are equipped with a device for individually dosing the feed. 

What are the advantages of feed containers?

The advantages of feed containers are that they ensure clean storage, protection, preservation of quality and long-lasting freshness of the feed. Feed containers are available in all capacities. Large feed containers allow multiple storage of feed, have partition walls and can be locked.

All the advantages of feed containers can be found in detail in the following list.

• Clean storage: Feed containers with lids offer clean storage of the feed and keep it dry and free from contamination.
• Offer protection: Feed containers protect the feed from moisture, dust, pests and, with the aid of a lock, also from theft.
• Get quality: Feed containers enable correct storage, which preserves the long freshness, nutritional value and quality of the feed.
• Any capacity: Feed containers are available in every capacity, allowing riders to buy the right container for their needs.
• Multiple storage of the feed: Large feed containers enable multiple storage of the feed, as up to 4 different types of feed can be stored at the same time.
• Have partition walls: Most large feed containers have robust partitions that prevent the individual feed types from mixing.
• Lockable: Many feed containers are lockable, which protects the horse feed from unauthorised access and rodents.
• Mobility: Feed containers with wheels offer good mobility as they are mostly fitted with easily manoeuvrable solid rubber wheels.

How much food fits in food containers?

Feed containers can hold between 2 litres and 700 litres of feed. Depending on whether you opt for a small feed bucket or a large feed trolley, the capacity will be correspondingly higher or lower. The capacity of the feed container must be adapted to the size of the feed bags.

Small feed containers usually only have one compartment in the centre and large feed containers have 1 to 4 compartments for storing several types of feed. Both small and large feed containers are often equipped with a lid for clean storage and are available with or without wheels. It is recommended to buy a large feed container to store a lot of feed neatly and to avoid constantly refilling the feed stock.
