Description
VERBA M series mash tank for fattening pigs and piglets
A pig liquid feeder is a feeder where dry feed is dispensed into the trough by the pig itself via a valve mechanism. Then the pig can use the drinking nipple present in the liquid feeder to make a liquid feed of the dry feed and water, the mash.
In the early 1980s Bert Verbakel, former pig farmer and founder of Verba, invented the pig liquid feeder. This has been further developed into the current M-series pig feeder. This makes the M-Series liquid feeders for fattening pigs and piglets the single truly original pig liquid feeders.
Advantages of the VERBA M series liquid feeder
The VERBA M Series liquid feeder for fattening pigs and piglets is suitable for crumb, pellet and meal feed. This pig feeder features a unique dosing mechanism with a stainless steel drinking nipple. Due to the natural eating movements of the pig, the feeding system mixes feed and water in the correct ratio, ensuring optimal feed conversion and cost savings. The best feed dosage is 4 grams per valve movement.
Robust design and installation
A pig feeder should be solidly mounted on the back and firmly placed on the ground with mounting angles, preferably in a corner of the pig pen. The double pig feeder versions are available in side/side and back/back models, allowing larger groups of pigs to be fed. The light interior of the Verba pig mash bowls ensures better feed intake and easy hygiene control.
Various models and uses
The pig liquid feeders M19100 are suitable for pellet, pellet and crumb feed, while the pig liquid feeders MU19100 are suitable for meal feed. The designated number of pigs per liquid feeder is slightly higher than for a pig dry feeder because pigs spend less time eating due to the availability of water. This shortens the duration of eating by 17% and reduces the number of feedings by 39%(source: ILVO/pigsloket.be).
Warranty and recognition
Independent research by the Hillsborough Agricultural Research Institute ('01) shows that the best feed conversion rates came from pigs using the Verba feeder. These conversion rates were significantly better than any other pig feeder.
