A feeding trough for horses is a semi-circular, square or rectangular container in which you can provide your animal with the optimum daily feed ration. Feeding troughs are available for every size of horse or pony, in different colours and materials. There are also specially designed feed troughs for foals.
The material and volume of the feed troughs can be ideally adapted to the needs, size and age of the horse.
Feeding troughs for horses are available in different sizes and have an average volume of between 6 litres and 150 litres. The size of the feed trough depends on the size and age of your horse. The size should also be adapted to the number of horses that will be eating from the trough.
If the trough is to be installed in a box for a single horse, a width of 40 - 50 cm is sufficient. If the trough is intended for the pasture, the trough should be at least 2 - 3 metres wide so that several horses can eat at the same time.
A feed trough usually costs between €12 and €160. The exact price depends on the desired size of the trough, the material of the feed trough and the amount of feed for the respective horse or horses. The differences in cost are so great because metal feed troughs are more expensive than plastic ones.
A feeding trough for horses is usually made of galvanised metal, stainless steel or plastic. Metal and stainless steel are particularly characterised by the fact that they are robust, rust-free, durable, temperature-resistant and easy to clean. Plastic feed troughs are also durable, easy to clean and reduce the risk of injury to the horse.
However, metal and stainless steel feed troughs are more expensive than plastic troughs, which should be taken into account when purchasing.
Below you will find a list of the feed troughs for horses available on the market.
A foal trough is a container that is specially made for foals. This trough is characterised by the fact that the metal bars inside are fastened so close together that only the foal can eat from the trough, but not the mare. This ensures that the foal is fully fed. Both foal and pony troughs are adapted in size to the feed ration of foals and ponies.
Hanging troughs are ideal for quick feeding on the move in the trailer, in the horse box or in the paddock. Thanks to the integrated carrying handle, the trough is easy to transport.
A corner trough can be mounted in the corner of the horse stable and is therefore space-saving. Mounting in the corner ensures that the horse does not bump into the trough as easily as when the trough is attached to the wall.
The rectangular trough is one of the classic troughs and allows a large amount of feed to be filled. They are equipped with a circumferential tubular frame to avoid the risk of injury.
Half-round troughs have rounded edges so that the horse cannot injure itself when eating. The usually inwardly curved edge of the trough ensures that the horse does not throw the food out.
A feeding trough is mounted in the stable either in a corner or on the wall of the stable. These can either be permanently installed or simply hooked into the bars of the stable. The fixed version is attached with screws and bolts, while the hanging version is particularly suitable for travelling when you are at competitions.
The height at which you attach the feed trough depends on the size of your horse or pony. The trough should always be attached so that it hangs at the height of the animal's front joint.
If you are still looking for a feeding trough for your stable, then you have come to the right place. We at Alfako offer you two variants of a feeding trough with a large capacity in our online shop: the rectangular trough and the corner trough.
The rectangular trough is 27.5 cm high, 49 cm wide and 22 cm deep. It has a capacity of around 30 litres and can be attached to any wall of the horse stable.
The corner trough is 85 cm high, 60 cm wide and 28.5 cm deep. The volume of the corner trough is approx. 145 litres and can be installed in the corner of the horse stable.
Both models are made of hot-dip galvanised metal and are therefore very durable and robust.
